Totally agree (I am sure I made this point somewhere earlier in this monster thread too). It is far easier to win an argument with a few watertight points rather than dozens of good but arguable ones, even if they are ultimately valid. Also, presenting any weaker point gives the opponent an opening to attack. I consider opt-in not out, RIPA as our crucial strong points, the law seems clear and the majority of people will understand and will be effected by them. Website owner (lack of) implied consent, web content copyright, interesting but much weaker points.
Focusing on a few strong points is the key to winning, rather than prolonging and enjoying, an argument. As is continuous repetition of your strongest points.
