This shit blows my mind....you try to pull that shit in a policy debate back in the day, it would pretty much be an instant loss.

At best you could try to run something like that as a counterplan, but you better have something more practical than philosophical if you intend to actually win.

Debate judges who judge in favor of these non-relevant arguments and disregard the principals of debate are really doing a disservice to debating in general.
