On the same token, if someone were to “disagree” (G-d forbid) that we were slaves in Egypt, I suppose you could frame that as being a disagreement with me. But in fact it would be proper to note that he is in fact disagreeing with the Torah.

That’s absolutely correct.

But one cannot argue (meaning actually debate) with the Torah because the Torah is not a living, speaking person. OTOH, you can argue with someone who purports to hold the same opinions.

But one would think that if you are agreeing with X (whatever point X happens to be) then you aren’t doing so blindly but that you must have your reasons for asserting and agreeing with X. In that respect, the person is arguing with you over X, even if you are not the originator of X.
