I think it makes very much of a difference.

It depends if the topic was factual or subjective.

Totally fine for someone to point out a factual indiscretion.

If I make a swooping statement about something in general, "All men are arrogant," and my friend points out that's rather irrational thinking, then it could suggest my subjective thinking is way off.

So back to my question. What was the topic of conversation?

Disclaimer: I absolutely 150% do not think all men are arrogant, I'm using that to demonstrate a point.
