why so slow…?

Because it doesn’t need to be fast. This obsession with speed undermines the quality of argument. I think flowing the debate and figuring out what makes it a good debate is better than a speed reading contest.
With that being said, all 4 of these debaters could go blazingly fast if necessary – it just wouldn’t be as useful a tool.

does it have to be really really slow. Speed is just more exciting to watch.
