Personally, I think the propensity to argue is a ridiculous thing to argue about.

I despise people who refuse to admit when they are wrong. Obviously she could do the math herself, she probably knew it, but just didn't want to admit it. One of the things I love about all of my friends is if they or I am wrong, we admit it, and when we can't come to agree on something, we agree to disagree with no hard feelings.

86 is the new 60. You should have asked her where he was stationed or what battles he was in.

I'm not by nature a person who likes conflict and I dislike people who want to argue. I try to only ever allow myself to become involved where I feel certain of something. There are a couple of tricks I have learned to deal with an disagreeable person.
(i) At the first sign of them opposing your statement, make double and triple clear what their stated position is. Get them to repeat their stated position clearly in front of other people preferably. Later when you produce a scientific journal or something they should really choke. But they frequently don't due to their nature but at least it helps other people realize that person's flawed character.
(ii) The other trick is to change your stated position to agree with theirs and see if they then change to the opposite. Do it a couple of times so you have them swapping back and forth just to be disagreeable. This only works with real dopes.

Which side was her friend on?
I know some Japaneese soldires held out on their own fo ryears, perhaps one even started the next generation of hold outs.
Only thing I can think of since I'm nearly 60 and my parents didn't even meet until my dad was in college on the GI bill after the end of WW II.
