Evidence challenges Kyle Cowdrey
Evidence challenges • Depends on the tournament (always ask before) • Usually you can only catch it if it is a skewed common study • If you research enough you can catch it more
How to avoid being challenged • Don’t cheat • Include the whole card • Cite your cards correctly • Debate is for education, don’t ruin the event by cheating and being lazy
Evidence indictments • Its old (uniqueness) • Bias • Lack of empirical data • All these attacks need a reason why that matters • Methodology • Data set • Doing it in very specific areas with specific classes or types of people • Causality
Comparing evidence • Dates matter but not all that much and usually only in certain instances • Explain why we should prefer your evidence over your opponent’s or why your indictment delegitimizes the evidence • Bias needs relevancy • Know who your sources are in order to compare quality of sources
How to not get your evidence indicted • Know who your sources are as to prevent bias calls • Get methodology of your studies • Get your evidence from legitimate sources • Use your evidence correctly (not assume causality or 100% probability)
