Unlikely, they're probably picking their fights, and/or doing prior research. Either way, if you can't face being wrong, you can't learn, and that's on you. Do the emotional work until you can and learn to research yourself, few things are black and white, your side may well have good arguments and references itself, you'll never know until you look.
This will likely be either very good or very bad for your relationship.
Yeah that's what the end of my comment was about. It also involved a lot of both of us learning to communicate and emotionally process better. We also have moved towards treating the fact finding portion of disagreements as neutral and mutual while framing our understanding of the facts with how certain we are included. "I thought I remembered it being this, I'm going to check" is way more constructive than "no it's this, here's where Wikipedia says you're wrong"
