In Policy Debate , offense refers to argument which has an implication other than or beyond mitigating an argument by the opposing team. For example, "A will cause B" is an offensive argument, while "A will not cause B" is a defensive argument. Why most coaches and judges encourage you to have more defense is because the offense is exactly that -- offense. So if the negative goes for only one argument in the 2NR, and argues that there is no affirmative offense on the flow, they essentially win the round, because at any risk of the CP, D/A, K, whatever, solving, they win the round.
