    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.

    Thanks so much for these great demos! My novices will be able to practice flowing, and get familiar with the structure. great job, guys!

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