Bridging communication gaps tbh.

Pretty much asking the right questions so you fully comprehend their argument while also adjusting yourself to ensure they understand yours.

It has nothing to do with being good at debate club, that's for sure. That whole thing is a mess that's gone far past the original purpose of what debate even means. It's literally about speaking as fast as possible. The judges have to train just to fucking understand what is being said.

The meta is to get so many points of argument in, as the affirmative side, that the negative side has to struggle to catch up and cover everything.

It sounds hilarious, but debate on gamefaqs, for a loose definition of "debate", is healthier, though not necessarily better. The flipside to our unstructured system is that there's not enough incentive to actually know what the fuck you might be talking about. No one there beyond your peers.

I'd imagine be quick witted and having a counter point always ready after what the other guy said.

There's techniques too that devalue somebody's argument, usually phrasing it in a way like "so let me get this straight...you're saying you want to *thing your refuting*" and it puts the focus on what they just said under a magnifying glass and heightens the flaws of the argument. Speech and tone are crazy when mastered.

thats insane lol. Ive never seen a real debate so Ive obviously based it off movies and stuff where theres some portrayal of stuff akin to that but not nearly on that level.

I appreciate you providing that (and the earlier explanation). Im both amazed and amused at the absurdity of it lol.
