Oh, I get that. I'm just saying that in the context of my field, "argument" and "arguing" aren't necessarily that different from "discussion" and "discussing," except that an argument should be more formal and better thought through. I "have" arguments all the time, though I argue "against" someone, not "with" them.
Oh, the turns a thread can take.
