This seems to me to be a debate about the difference between the literal and the figurative. People are bound to have differences in that regard, and we see those differences, IMHO, in relative adherence to orthodoxy. Nobody is more than or less than, just different. Agree to disagree, or don't agree to disagree. Disagreement is not inherently a putdown, but the failure to agree to disagree can be inferentially a putdown, all by itself.
