same thing.  he didn't get the argument, therefore it didn't have
the right quality, and therefore it's not very important, and both
the argument and the person making it can be ignored.  it's a circular 
argument.  and the only way to snap out of it is to start asking 
yourself "I don't get his argument, but he definitely has a track
record; maybe that guy knows something that I don't".
