That's a put-down. But if he's a nice guy with a strong opinion, you can say, "That's interesting. But I don't see it that way." You've got a debate, unless emotions enter. Then you've got an argument. If the guy is obnoxious you can say, “WHATEVER” & walk away. That’s a put-down. But if he’s a nice guy with a strong opinion, you can say, “That’s interesting.
