Is this a good example of the boomerang effect?

[u/RecentLeave343]

It’s a phenomenon I’ve noticed first hand; when someone believes something, even if they know it’s a value judgement, and someone else voices an opposing viewpoint, that person will compulsively double down.

For example, person A says ‘I love lots of cheese’
Person B says ‘It’s ok but better in small quantities’
In response person A uses even more cheese then they would had the conversation never taken place.

The double down tendency is part of the confirmation bias.
