Well my experience is that it is unfair, irrelevant, and common. The only time somebody falls back on the past is when they have bought your current argument but still won't give in. Offer up a compromise as a way out for them to save face and they will generally take it. If they don't, you are just fighting for fighting's sake and that just has to run it's course... "I know you are, but what am I?" is a nice fallback position at that point.
