One concedes a loss when one is wrong. One does not concede a loss when one is correct. You are being illogical. It's no big deal, but that is likely the source of your frustration.
Again, by your logic "rap" as the name of a musical genre cannot exist because it grew out of a term, "rap", which meant to sit and converse and came from the 60s culture. I don't know its origins before that.
Ah, here it is:
rap (n.)
"quick, light blow," c.1340, native or borrowed from a Scandinavian source (cf. Dan. rap, Swed. rapp "light blow"); either way probably of imitative origin (cf. slap, clap). The verb is attested from 1377. Slang noun meaning "rebuke, blame, responsibility" is from 1777; specific meaning "criminal indictment" (cf. rap sheet, 1960) is from 1903. To rap (someone's) knuckles "give light punishment" is from 1749.
rap (v.)
"talk informally," first recorded 1929, popularized c.1965 in Black English, possibly first in Caribbean English, from British slang meaning "say, utter" (1879), originally "to utter a sudden oath" (1541), from rap (n.). Meaning "music with improvised words" first in New York City slang, 1979.
