I think debate can absolutely expose both debate participants to new ideas, though. It can let both participants grow and allows the audience to reflect on what arguments they find compelling. I have 100% been convinced by certain arguments in the past and changed my position.
Yes. I wasn't always pro capitalist for instance. I think people have ranges, but these ranges are still finite and determined by innate limitations.
