No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that if someone wants their argument to be taken seriously, they should be willing to reevaluate parts of it that they're very obviously wrong about, especially if, by their own admission, those parts don't even matter in the face of the rest of the argument.

I'm just fed up with people feeling the need to have strong opinions on everything, even if they don't actually know much about it. It's fine if you don't know anything about how capable current LLMs actually are. Especially as an opponent of LLMs for moral reasons, it makes total sense that you'd just be avoiding them and thus not really be that informed. It does not in any way weaken your argument. As long as you seem to have a good grip on what you know and what you don't know, it's all good. But being confidently wrong about things and refusing to reevaluate when getting pushback on that just signals that you neither know nor care about the limits of your own knowledge, and makes the entirety of your argument untrustworthy.
