There's a saying in panto, which is traditional in this country at this time of year: "OH YES, IT DOES!"<br>

Man (Michael Palin): An argument isn't just contradiction.<br>
<br>
Mr. Vibrating (John Cleese): It can be.<br>
<br>
Man: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.<br>
<br>
Mr. Vibrating: No it isn't.<br>
<br>
Man: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.<br>
<br>
Mr. Vibrating: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.<br>
<br>
Man: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'<br>
<br>
Mr. Vibrating: Yes it is!<br>
<br>
Man: No it isn't!<br>
<br>
Man: Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any statement the other person makes.<br>
<br>
(short pause)<br>
<br>
Mr. Vibrating: No it isn't.<br>
<br>
Man: It is.<br>
<br>
Mr. Vibrating: Not at all.<br>

Man: Now look!. (MONTY PYTHON: THE ARGUMENT CLINIC)<br>
