Debate coach: Support Britta's command of the historical facts was better than Robert's, and that led to the distinct impression that Britta won the debate. βββ ββββ ββββ βββββββββ ββ ββββββββ βββ ββββββββββ βββ βββββββββ βββββββββ βββββ ββββββββββ ββ βββββ βββββββ ββ βββββ βββ βββββ ββ ββββ ββ βββββ ββββββββββ ββββ βββ ββββ ββββ ββββ ββββββββββββββ ββββββββ ββββββ βββββββββββ βββ ββ ββββ ββ βββββββββ
Robertβs performance was on par with Brittaβs even though she was better in one regard, because performance evaluation should include reasonableness of the arguments.
If reasonableness is why Robertβs performance is as good as Brittaβs, when before, Britta seemed to be superior, then we are assuming something about Robertβs reasonableness. If Robertβs reasonableness brought him from a deficit up to equality, then his arguments must have been more reasonable than Brittaβs.
