I also tend to be argumentative, but I'm trying not to be. Instead of simply agreeing with someone, I'll typically say "I can see where you're coming from", because I feel like if I didn't at least for a moment consider why they may think something is the way it is, I'm being ignorant in some way. It's also not saying "no" and people generally feel satisfied that someone understands why they may have their point of view.

It's not always easy when it's a clearly wrong answer, but it's still not agreeing that they're right, just letting them know you understand why they think the way to they do. If they question if you agree, you can easily say no. I don't think it would sting as much if you told them you have your own point of view after letting them know you understand theirs.
