Sorry, but this person comes across as not having read anything remotely about dialectics, if he thinks that is dialectics. It's no mystery, btw, there are famous works which present the concept. Although they often are named in such a way that *possibly* (said in Blackadder tone) one would not identify them as relevant, eg "The Parmenides, or On Dialectics"
