I disagree. Sometimes there is no disagreement, someone is just plain wrong. Catherine has been given the use cases that disprove her thesis, and has been contradicting herself. Continuing to be nice in some misguided attempt at false balance *does* *not* *help*. If someone is wrong, they should be told; if they insist on not wanting to be educated, at a certain point you must simply wash your hands of them. It's not nice, but it *is* constructive.
