Not real sure, but I will give you my opinion on what it means.
I would say that you shouldn't have an argument with the idea of winning the argument (victory). That is a lose-lose situation anyhow. If you are arguing, then those involved have different points of view, and one will unlikely change the mind of the other. And to try to do that, or to try to "win" the argument will only end up with both parties angry, and screaming at each other. The only thing you learn is that you are mad at the other guy, even though you doubtfully heard what he had to say because he doesn't agree with you.
Progress would be to have a civilized argument, such as a debate. Progress is standing by your own point of view, but realizing the other person's is valid as well, and learning from their side of it. Everyone walks away happy and they have likely learned something new, weather what they learned is something they agree with or not.
At least that is what I think when I read that statement.
