   ### - debating isn't a game, it's an intelligent way of getting at the   
   truth of an issue, a win-win scenario for both sides because everyone   
   comes out the better for it even if they lose the debate, the main thing   
   is the argument has evolved some, and even if nothing definitive is   
   arrived at, at least one argument (the losing one) has been dismissed from   
   the equation no matter how much appeal (emotional or otherwise) it might   
   have previously had... and overall that's an advance see? both sides get a   
   win regardless of the outcome because knowledge has been advanced a   
   fraction...   
      
   there's a very nice movie about it that explains the above in detail   
      
   just cut through all the hollywood-esq bs added to sell movies, and at the   
   heart of it there's human awareness, discipline & advancement...
