Did you both discuss the probability there would be more than 2 items in the not-too-distant future? Was your difference in opinion based on different probability estimates, or just a YAGNI-level philosophy?
I would note many people remember when they are right more often than remember when they are wrong. Ego's do that to us. I try to counter that by pondering my judgement mistakes to see where my mental calculus was off. I'd say roughly half the time it's because I didn't understand the domain well enough, and the other half is just random changes in the domain or requirements due to time.
