To admit that you’re wrong would be to admit that your view is the weaker one.

Perhaps I'm playing in to the scenario OP is describing but I'd argue that being wrong (let's assume for this example it's provably, objectively wrong) isn't necessarily weakness, sometimes it's just incorrectness.

i'm possibly drawing a pedantic line between weakness (a potentially valid, but weaker argument) vs incorrectness ( an argument that is provably, objectively incorrect ).

Perhaps i'm just describing the difference between subjective and objective arguments ... hmmm, not sure

I think it sometimes depends on how much they have internalised their perspective on a topic as a core part of their personality.

If they perceive a disagreement with their perspective as a direct attack on their person, that can lead to subjectively bad outcomes.

There is also the possibility that what you see as a small point is a critical point to them.

Which law? in which place? at what time ?

Where it's hosted? where it's being accessed? the intermediate locations ?

Which license, is the license enforceable in this context? who decides if it is? what if there are conflicting decisions from different applications of law, who arbitrates?

Do you mean piracy in the maritime sense? or do you mean copyright infringement? perhaps trademark infringement? or intellectual property theft? based on which law in which geographic region ?

This isn't even hyperbole, the things you are talking about have nuance and context, pretending they don't is a failure of imagination or intentional trolling.

The law is the law in the very specific contexts in which it applies and is heavily open to interpretation and bias, which is (in theory) why trials and lawsuits exist.

So I gave you two examples that match your criteria and you still can't figure it out. Got it.

...or ..perhaps you did figure it out ..and have moved the goalposts again.. dammit , can't believe I fell for that, congratulations.

I mean, I gave you a whole narrative about moving goalposts, if you can't get it from that im not sure im qualified to help you.

Hmm , actually, there is this I suppose but that's a lot more words than the previous reply so ... It could go either way.

That's some quality engineering at work there, are you using some of them in-post hidden motors like the sketchy cyclists ?

I can't even see any wheels.

I thought for sure them goalposts were fixed in to the ground, but no, they just zipped on by at a rate of speed.

Like the "Roman Salute" out of context, or actually out of context ?

At a level you'd need to use for a search engine ?
