Precisely.
So, suppose that you think that one of those sides is simply flat-out
wrong. Now what? Not all compromise is actually productive. A
compromise between a correct statement and an incorrect statement is an
incorrect statement.
Seems like appeal to the ADs and the IETF is the right approach to take
for people who feel that way, rather than more interminable arguments on
this mailing list.
