At least, that's how it works with SEIs.
For arguments in general, I think I've moved away from the shouting and more toward the staring. Staring at someone who's performing a 1-sided argument is likely to make them sheepish, at which time one can give one's own arguments while they're hushed and focused on feeling awkward instead of on counterattacks. Not that I consistently accomplish this, but that's the idea.
