Being logically correct doesn’t exist, the best you can do is be logically consistent with your chosen axioms. I would suggest the deeper problem is that people tend to not think too much about the foundational axioms of their world view, and think you can simply debate a topic with somebody who has a world view founded on a completely different set of axioms. No productive debate can take place in that context, because the controversy stems from the merit of your axioms, not how they apply to a given situation.
