With only hearing one side of a conversation they know nothing about, they decided that the confident person must be correct because?

This guy has never survived a meeting that should have been an email.

Oh I work for the government my friend. I actively disrupt those meetiings, I complain out loud that they could have been an email, I take great joy in pointing out that none of our "feedback" is ever implemented and that the meetings are an ego massaging exercise.

Consequently, 75% of the regular attendees like me and 25% want to stab me really bad, but we do now have fewer meetings.

I sometimes send emails that probably should have been meetings. Here's a couple pages of dense text and bullet points, I'll need your feedback on most of it, so please get back to me ASAP with an equally long email, thanks.

Yeah but doing it through email still has so many benefits. You can refer back to it years later if needed, you can think out and rewrite your points, include someone else later without restating everything...
