have any of you gotten “convinced” bc you lost a debate? what does debate have anything to do with persuasion, if debate worked like that, retail workers would challenge you in a debate every time you walk in a store all like “so what is your ARGUMENT for not buying anything yet”

I did debate in high school and they try to avoid tight cases. They can bring up controversial topics, but they pose them very broadly and how to define terms is part of it. Judges are instructed to decide who wins based on rhetorical skill regardless of the topic at hand.
