Debate becomes an easy game to win when you have zero integrity or an actual value system, which as you say means they make up the rules as they go along.

Debate skills are performance skills and like any other form of performance at least half of how well you do depends on how sympathetic your audience already was Anyone with any history in debate knows this

This is what I meant by "masculine communication styles" "Winning a debate" is mostly *performing the role* of the most logical, confident, alpha dude in the room Actually being right has very little to do with it

There’s “logic” the mathematical discipline and there’s “logic” the Vulcan ideology and most people invoking “logic” in arguments or disagreements are referring to the former.

Except you can prove an extremely large number of conclusions depending on what your assumptions are and rigorous logic is so distanced from day to day existence that you can torture logic into nearly any shape you want to with the application of a little Bad Faith(tm)
