How can "arguably" mean "without any doubt", and "inarguably" ALSO mean "without any doubt"? How is it possible that a word and its supposed reverse (since it has the "in" prefix added) go for the same direction?

Explain to me how this makes ANY sense at all, first languagers.

Might be because it's a loanword.

I thought it meant that you could argue for it

Arguably doesn't mean that, arguably means the same as "one could argue".
Inarguably means undoubtedly, arguably means possibly.
Anyone who used arguably as certainly or definitely used it wrong.

how come putting a meeting 'forward' can mean both moving it closer to the current time but also further away
