In Policy Debate , defense refers to argument which has no implication other than mitigating an argument made by the opposing team. For example, "A will not cause B" is a defensive argument, while "A will cause B" is an offensive argument. Defensive arguments may often be conceded to "kick out" of positions. For example, a team wishing to kick out of their Politics Disadvantage could concede the argument " Fiat takes out the link." Although this argument is frowned upon by the community, the fact that it is conceded gives it 100% percent weight in the round and thus takes out any Offence the other team may have on that Flow . For example, an Impact Turn on a disad with no internal link becomes irrelevant. SEE ALSO |
