Not only that, but Buddha specifically says he “does not debate with the world” because he is not proposing anything against common sense. He can not be contradicted by logic. (that’s how he won all those debates with wanderers of other sects btw) Whathever things he discovered through special knowledge, they are all in line with logic not against it. Whathever a wise man in the world would agree upon, the Buddha agrees too.
Ironically, this statement is made in the sutta that existentialist buddhism hate the most (the one about thing existing). SN 22.94
At Savatthi. “Bhikkhus, I do not dispute with the world; rather, it is the world that disputes with me. A proponent of the Dhamma does not dispute with anyone in the world. Of that which the wise in the world agree upon as not existing, I too say that it does not exist. And of that which the wise in the world agree upon as existing, I too say that it exists.
“And what is it, bhikkhus, that the wise in the world agree upon as not existing, of which I too say that it does not exist? Form that is permanent, stable, eternal, not subject to change: this the wise in the world agree upon as not existing, and I too say that it does not exist. Feeling … Perception … Volitional formations … Consciousness that is permanent, stable, eternal, not subject to change: this the wise in the world agree upon as not existing, and I too say that it does not exist.
“That, bhikkhus, is what the wise in the world agree upon as not existing, of which I too say that it does not exist.
“And what is it, bhikkhus, that the wise in the world agree upon as existing, of which I too say that it exists? Form that is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change: this the wise in the world agree upon as existing, and I too say that it exists. Feeling … Perception … Volitional formations … Consciousness that is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change: this the wise in the world agree upon as existing, and I too say that it exists.

There are things in buddhism (rebirth, what is nibbana etc.) that can not be understood through 5 minutes of reading. There are things that require understanding the whole teachings. Just like one can not undertand the engine of an airplane in 3 minutes. But there is nothing that can be contradicted. While everything else can be refuted. (materialism, idealism etc.) Despite having some things that can not be understood on the spot, Buddhism can not be contradicted while other views can. It is in this way that Buddha won all those debates and Buddhism took over all of india in just 2 centuries. It was a good environment for debates because if a wanderer got refuted in a debate, all his disciples would leave to the winner of the debate. Sadly, such a debate culture is nonexistent in the west today. And the postmodernist view is against this, claiming debates have no purpose and there is no objective truth. Postmodernism is the one responsible for ideas like “despite strongly disagreeing, we both are right and it is just a matter of what works for different persons” - an anti-debate mentality. Luckily this anti-logic postmodernist view is only popular in the english world, especially in the US and not in continental europe or other parts of the world.
The way to refute postmodernism is done in 1 line, by showing it is self-refuting: If “logic has it’s limits” and there is no objective truth, then the postmodernist view itself has no value and can never be considered correct. It is a self-refuting view.
