When someone insists they're never wrong, you can't win by arguing. Let them be right and walk away, or recognize they're protecting their ego from the fear of being wrong. Sometimes preserving peace beats proving a point.

What to say to someone who is never wrong. Number 1: You might just be right. You cannot argue someone out of their feelings, and so sometimes it just makes sense to walk away and let them be right. Number 2: You are afraid of being wrong. This statement points to the real problem. The thing is, this person is not looking for facts, they are just protecting their ego. Have you had to deal with someone like this before?
