Working on Debate Modeling
In lieu of a bunch of mindless rambling, I’m going to spend {whatever time today I spend on Debate Modeling, and not watching the Chronicles of Narnia}*, dissecting this this typical blog discussion to try to figure out what sort of elements can be atomic enough and yet still capture all of the good content (as opposed to the unwanted content). Actually, it’s not an entirely typical discussion. It has less noise, and more controversy. It does have a few people playing tug-of-war about presenting evidence, each presuming dishonesty on the other’s part, but there’s only one thread of that, and it’s pretty explicit, and I need to think about that stuff anyway.
* These braces are generic phrase grouping markers. Not standard english, but oh so useful in writing long, nested sentences. They’re not needed often, but when they are, it’s really annoying to rearrange things to work with The Man’s English instead of just using them. You don’t want to support The Man, do you?
