  4. Why do we think that alternative debate exists? What is it trying to accomplish? In what ways is it different from “traditional debate”?

  11. But isn’t this cheating? The short answer is no. Think about the way the system is set up to favor some, but not others. Is correcting this disparity cheating? Is this excluding people? What does “exclusion in the name of inclusion” really mean?

  12. So what do I do if someone says this to me? -Most prepared for T and framework -Relatedly, these arguments are generally unstrategic -The best thing you can do is respond -- What does it mean to be responsive?
