I agree with Ceili's words. She verbalized it better than I did.

No, it wouldn't sway me. The reason I asked is that I'm curious to know why you would feel the way you do if this situation were real, which, as you have stated, IS real.
Since the idea of thanking someone is evident in your mind, why don't you just go ahead and say thanks? It might prompt the other person to thank you in response. Then it's all over with. *L*
To me it isn't worth the effort to figure out who's right and who's wrong or who is being the most stubborn. If this is something that is bothering you, then I suspect there are other issues going on. You alluded to as much when you said both of you were stubborn. Obviously this isn't the first time you two haven't seen eye to eye on things. Perhaps your best bet is to talk to this person about your perspective...in a non-blaming kind of way....in a way that expresses to the other person how you are feeling. Sometimes that is next to impossible to do, depending on the nature of your relationship.
