Stubborn bastards aren't worth dealing with imho, like, at all. That's why I usually tell people to piss off at the first signs of dickmeasuring behavior. It's usually pretty noticeable from the language someone is using. Only thing I think you can do is lead by example yourself, actually learning to use words like "I think", "I'm not convinced", "It's possible"
You've got a fair point on the unknown but even then in the ideal scenario you should at least acknowledge that you're playing with pure hypotheticals. When it comes to actual useful discussion the language used is very, very different from what you usually see in about 99% of the internet. I'm talking about shit like jumping over valid reasoning just to nitpick at details. Building arguments based on what they already believe beforehand and acting like it's objective truth. Patronizing shit like "you know I am right" or "you know this is true". Getting defensive and constantly switching back and forth between serious talk and sarcasm. There's plenty of obvious signs when you're dealing with someone who's not interested in the subject matter and rather just wants to stroke their ego
