OK, I'm curious....
In Shoutbox, Pap said "debate to me has always been about win at all costs"
That sounds kinda brutal to me, but it MAY be the prevailing attitude toward debate on Tweb -- I honestly don't know.
Often, in debate, I begin to see where the weaknesses are in my arguments, for the purposes of reexamining what I believe, or learning how to express it more clearly.
Is debate "about winning at all costs"? Or is it about finding the truth.
Do you allow your position to be examined by others to the extent that you may change your position somewhere along the way? Or is this like "school debate", where you stick to your guns no matter what?
