That's because based on research, english speaking people requires speech to form their thoughts, and usually when they do that they cannot be listening :)
I argue only under 2 circumstances 1) I really want that person to see truth/facts through my point, 2) there are monetary reasons for me to do so.
And I usually stop arguing when 1) everyone else can see the points from both sides and make their judgment, or 2) the person is hopeless (whether it be opininated or just plain stubborn)
I usually just listen and don't argue if it is just a matter of difference in viewpoints. It is interesting for me to hear what other people think and where they come from.
I usually only argue if there is a blanket statement that do not take into consideration important facts, and there are serious flaws in logic (plus the two conditions previously mentioned)

這個是老師講作文的時候說的。
她說英文人都很opinionated，他覺得自己是對的，別人就都不正確。
而我們寫作文/口試的時候，要兩邊都要闡述，很自然地接受別人的反駁，但最後還是堅持己見。XD
