One that comes to mind for me: “Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is not always true. Maybe even only half the time! Are there any phrases you tend to hear and shake your head at?

“Let’s agree to disagree”.
No, you asshole, we are getting to the bottom of this: you expose your reasoning for your position and I will do the same and this ends when reason doesn’t support anymore one of the 2 sides.
Some things are truly just up to personal preference. “Agree to disagree” is a perfectly valid thing to say when discussing how to cook a steak in my opinion.
Reason alone rarely if ever supports only one side or the other. You choose how you are weighting things; that’s an emotional response, not a logical one.
Everyone answering me seems to not allow for the option that I may not counter the other person with an alternative I defend with reason. My dislike for that expression assumes that I find myself in a discussion over something worth defending with reason, otherwise there is no discussion in the first place.
