It may be time to teach him the art of insincerity. If he says "It's not an eel," and the other kids say "Yes it is," and don't seem interested in discussing the whys and wherefores, it's time for a polite, non-committal "mmm" or "oh." You can teach him that this doesn't mean "You're right," it means "I understand that you think that."
