Yes, the "you're wrong because you aren't perfect" rhetorical trick tends to get a lot of mileage in debate among Buddhists. So does the "you are angry and self-righteous (and therefore wrong too) because you uphold the Buddha's teachings" trick.

It is a good tool for checking oneself. But then again, one could point to the Buddha's behavior in some cases andclaim that he has "righteous view"
