You're going to be waiting a long time @ZubyMusic. In all my 4 decades of this battle, i've learned that when they're found to be wrong, they'll never admit it. They'll commit, throw a tantrum, call you names, change the topic. They will never admit wrong, their cognitive dissonance won't allow them. When you bring it up later they will try to revision history, change the topic, or never talk about it again. but never apologize. And if you think they apologized, 99.9% of the time it's insincere, and you'll be able to find that out too.
Me? if i'm wrong i'll admit it, it's good to be wrong, i love to be wrong, that's how we grow. That's how we avoid pride, and stay humble.
When it is finally main stream proven and accepted, it will be they who were tirelessly trying to wake you up to the facts, but they could never get it through your thick skull.

You forgot the final step.

at that point they'd probably want to keep that quiet, don't you think?
I would, yes. But In my personal experience there is no level of shame that makes them blush.
EDIT: At that point I just stare them in the eye. Words are pointless.
