More on high school debate:
"Now here comes the transcendental moment for those of us who were paying attention: neither team knew until moments before the debate whether they were going to be affirmative or negative. What that means is, at any given tournament, we had to have tons of evidence and countless index cards with sources like US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT and studies from places like EMORY UNIVERSITY and HARVARD SCHOOL OF LAWâ€¦ and we had to have this mountain of evidence for both sides of the argument."

Of course you do need to pay attention.
Oops, I'm arguing for the wrong side. "That's ok Tommy, we'll let you start again."
