> Things like "You're right, but for a stronger reason than you said:"

I also get this a lot, but almost always with "and for a stronger reason than you said", which makes it sound more like it's reinforcing me than one-upping me.

Looking through my recent transcripts, I found this pattern 12 times, with every time using "and" instead of "but".

Eg:

- "Confirmed, and it's worse than a pause quirk."

- "I think the ban is right, and it's a stronger idea than what I'd proposed."

I did find one instance with "but", but it was a genuine disagreement rather than 1-upping or presenting strengthening evidence: "I would cap it, but for a different reason than fairness."
