Why do people argue about subjects they have no clue about with people who know...

...about the subject? I notice that people who have no idea about a certain subject will start talking like they are experts on the subjectWhen someone who is an expert on the subject tries to inform those people who have no clue(and correct information) about the subject,those same people who don't know anything about it will start countering the correction made by the expert and try to bring out incorrect information about the subject to prove they are right.Here are some examples I have seen.
1)Some high school kids start calling army men ******* and think that basic army training is easy and that marines are the toughest and best in the world.My high school teacher (who was in the USMC and Army Airborne) started to try to correct these highschoolers.He tried to tell that his experience in the USMC basic was not that harder and different from his experience in army basic.Additionally he tried to inform the highschoolers that Airborne training was far harder than any training he took when he was a Marine.These high schoolers(who never been in the military nor have any parents in the military) started to argue back,insisting that USMC training is the hardest and that all Atrmy people are ******* basing their information on movies.Even when my teacher showed them offical papers made by the army and USMC that shows that the army basic is not that different from USMC basic and that also shown that Airborne training is incredibly tougher than USMC basic,the high shcoolers still insisted that Army people are pussis and USMC training is the toughest in the wrold.
2)Adults were arguing about accounting with a Proffessional CPA certified accountant.They kept insisting certain things were asset in their account record (well in fact they were actually liabilities).The CPA certified accountant(who they hired) tried to correct them.But they argued back and kept insisting that those things were assets.
3)I listen to Rap.When some adults were having conversations that rap is violent,I tried to inform them that not all rap songs are violent and that the original rap songs were actually completely nonviolent.They then argued back saying that all rap songs are violent and that the original rap songs were as violent as the modern ones.After hlaf an hour of arguing,I finally gave up and just let this adults believe what they wanted to believe even though it was completely wrong.

They don't realize how ignorant they are.
