I would pull her aside and say "honey, they will not remember what you said an hour from now, why upset everyone by arguing with them?"

You are right, and your wife needs some education.
My mom was like your wife when dad was in the early stages of Alzheimer's. He would get obsessed about the bank taking his money. Mom would get to the point of yelling at him, "The bank is NOT trying to steal your money damnit!" Dad would call me and I'd say, "OK, let's go take care of this." I'd pick him up (they lived 10 minutes away) and he'd tell me all about them bastages at the bank and I'd get all riled up with him and tell him I had to stop at the hardware on the way and then we'd go take care of it. After half an hour at the hardware store, talking and looking at tools, he forgot all about the bank.
