"I think," "I feel," and "I believe" claims are only persuasive to the extent of your credibility/ethos with your audience--they are not (and should not) be subject to either validation or contestation because they are 'true' for you. I do not think that this discussion can produce either some consensus or 'better' debate pedagogy unless the _hard_ work of evaluating causal and normative claims is done.>>>This summarizes my objection to Jackie's arguments better than anything I've said.stannard
