When you need more time to prove even if you have been proven wrong again and again

1.When you ask for more time in order to prove your point right dispite of you have been proven wrong again and again.

Sometimes you were always right and you have to wait and be wrong for a while, but sometimes you were always wrong but ask for more time as a justification to mask your error

Person 1 claims X is true and can prove it
Person 2 says s/he's been given ample opportunity and has failed each time
Person 1 responds I can still prove it I just need more time.

I don't see the error or deception in logic as Person I may indeed just need more time.
It's possible. There could be many reasons for requiring more time. Continuances occur
all of the time in both legal and scientific arenas. Quite acceptable.

Now, if it's just a stall tactic and Person 1 is deceptively avoiding the inevitability of being wrong. It could be
a form of Ad hoc rescue.
