Just an aside for future reference: unless the other person is hard of hearing, I can't see that approach ending well. If one can't explain it any way that the other person will accept, then I think there comes a point when one should reply: 1/ "let's see what Joe thinks" - involve someone who understands your view, who will hopefully feed back to you more reasonably if the other person has a valid point; 2/ "the solution must do Y" - challenge them directly to produce a solution which meets your criteria; and/or 3/ "I'm here, so I win" - pull rank, then shut up and endure the flames. Anyone got another way out?
