A theoretical framework that supports conclusions I agree with is a sound theoretical framework. ("Sound" here in the technical sense -- i.e. incorporates a logically valid argument, and is based on true premises.)

Someone who argues with the argument I'm using to reach my conclusion doesn't understand my argument, or is emotionally hostile to my position.

Someone who disproves an invalid argument for my conclusion disagrees with my conclusion.

Someone who questions the truth of my premises doesn't understand them.

All of my premises are true and correct.

These things may not be true in all sorts of circumstances. How their potential untruth in the Great Titty Button Flap is left as an exercise for the (probably mythical) careful reader.
