I stumbled across this and thought some might find it useful.

The objective of argument or disputation is not only take an opposing position, but to provide evidence to support one's position. Otherwise, as is pointed out in the MP sketch, it's simply contradiction.

A post disputation argument is an argument in which one party attempts to alter their view on the disputed facts after the answer has already been discovered by an outside medium. It is an example of a fallacy.
Example:
Party one claims A is true.
Party two claims B is true and A is false.
Party one claims B is false.
Party one and party two look in reliable source for the truth.
According to the source party one is correct because A is true.
Party two claims that they are correct and then restates their claim into argument B'.
