Reason:

Very convincing arguments by Pro. His claim "another round, another forfeit." was never contended by Con and therefore was conceded.

Con did use good literary devices during his arguments, most notably: repetition. However, merely saying "Forfeited" is insufficient for constructive arguments or rebuttals and was likely plagiarized from another debate on this site. Bad conduct.

Since Pro's arguments went uncontested and Con plagiarized, I am giving this win to Pro.
