If an argument deals with very specific information, and is not opinion or belief based, then yes, it can be "won", by virtue of you proving that you had the correct details versus the other person.
For example, if some idiot (this has happened more than once in my life) insists that multiple different wrestlers have played the character of The Undertaker over the years, not just one man, and you of course KNOW for a practical fact that it has always been Mark Calloway, then you can "win" that argument by presenting them with the facts. Whether they are smart enough to accept the facts, is another story.
But when an argument is based around a difference of opinion or belief, the best you can ever hope for, is somehow being able to adequately make them see and understand your side of things, your point of view. You are rarely ever going to sway the other person, they are going to continue to think or believe what they want, the same as you are, so in that sense, no, many arguments cannot be "won".
On a personal aside, this is why I honestly hate arguing. It is more often than not, fruitless and even counterproductive. Arguing is also more often than not hostile, or will get there quickly enough. I far prefer "pure" communication, actually listening and hearing one another. But achieving that can sometimes be more difficult than it needs to be, if both parties are not willing TO listen, as well as be heard.
