Chances are if he is tailgating you he had to be traveling at a higher
rate of speed than you.  By not yielding the lane, you are blocking a
faster vehicle.  Should you choose to yield, chances are he will
resume his former cruising speed, which would be faster than yours,
making him a faster vehicle.

Do you perhaps rationalize this by blocking him, forcing him to slow
down and then saying to yourself he isn't going any faster so there is
no need to yield the lane?
