You could apply that logic to an argument where there was no obvious right answer. However here, there is an entirely obvious right answer. Assuming he drives regularly, which he says he does, Spindrift speeds, and if he denies it, he is a liar. (You have to ask yourself why he would lie, unless he was concerned that the truth would make his speeding-related arguments look absurd. And you have to ask yourself why he would make arguments which he knew to be absurd, unless he had an ulterior motive for his camera support, e.g. a pathetic hatred of motorists, and/or a financial interest in the use of cameras.)

If you came across two people arguing, with Person A telling Person B that he was breathing, and Person B saying "No, I never breathe", would you tell them to "agree to disagree like adults"? Personally I would tell Person B to stop being a lying twat, and it's the same with SPINdrift.
