In a debate you're not trying to convince the person you're debating. You're trying to convince the audience. Is it possible to convert your opponent? Yes, but is it likely? No. You will almost never get your opponent to admit you're right, so how do you win a debate? Simple, you just prove that your opponent is wrong. If he's wrong then you must be right, thus you win the crowd.
