I don’t consider it my responsibility to update their beliefs,
I don’t think responsibility is a good way to think about it. There are several reasons to wish those you have opportunity to argue with have more accurate beliefs: one is that it’s likely to serve whatever it is that you believe in and are arguing about, and a second is that they’re more likely to help you reach accurate beliefs in future.

I agree. I am not sure that making them feel defeat is the best way to get to those ends, however. I suppose it will vary from person to person.
Of note, I am very much focusing on the word “feel” throughout this discussion.
