the idea of debate school is HARMFUL because people can use CLAIMS and debate methods to promote both falsehoods and harmful ideas. insted the key to solving arguments is QUALIFIED sources.
imagine the absurd scenario: i am in an airport and a man approaches me explaining he is from canada. while we wait for our FLIGHT the canadian wants to talk about the MOST important issue, health. granted. we cant function when we are sick and dying.
the canadian then lists many flaws about american healthcare... each example never happened to me but that is "the exception"... as if the canadian investigated? as if he went and made "a study at EACH clinic" to know my experience was the exception?? he is in canada i am the one experiencing the cancellation of "cease" insurance and COERCED into changing insurance provider no choice and other experiences, other flaws but not the ones the canadian lists... but he uses DEBATE METHODS to claim he knows without investigating more than the locals because "your experience" is "no proof" kuz you are the exception... that is debate methods. claims are emptyu i can "claim" solomon had historical ownership of china... if i use debate methods on the denier i can "win" the debate... about a falsehood or worse a harmful idea.
case in point as d.a. kammila harris was "skilled' at debating and convincing the the jury to vote guilty.... until cops CAUGHT the one who did it. and she is the one biden incompetently chose as vice president.... anyway being skilled in debate can lead to harm by using claims.
what about facts? two newspapers can report different numbers for unemployemnt in the city... then when trump quotes EITHER source the "fact-checkers" say "he lied again see other source",
that is not fact checking.
the key to solving arguments is QUALIFIED source not debate techniques which can be used to harm falsely accused as in case of harris and other harms and falsehoods.
