You could indeed see yourself as being "fact-checked". But this doesn't mean the person attempting to persuade you of their point of view thinks of themselves as a "fact-checker", or popularises themselves as a source of information that is always more correct than any other.

I appreciate that you did, in fact, try to argue against what I said without the use of facts, resolving the paradox I presented. If with a somewhat strange arguement.

I appreciate your good-natured discussion, but disagree: my statements were factual, and it's not strange to present hubris as an indicator of untrustworthiness.
