Description

5G is the 5th generation mobile technology, not the five GHz spectrum used in some 802.11 standards.

Ticking time bomb: "That negative health repercussions of 5G are a very substantial risk."

Substantial: Real and tangible rather than imaginary.

BOP: Both parties. Pro must demonstrate there is a substantial risk. and Con must demonstrate there is not. Failure of both results in a tie.

Reason:

Argument: My first impression was that Con missed the proposal's point on health because Con targeted economic health as a rebuttal. However, assuming "health" did not include econ health is reading too much into the proposal, so Con's parry is cleverly applied to rebut the personal health approach to which pro limited his argument. By forfeiture of the last 3 rounds, Con sealed the deal. points to Con.

Sources: A virtual tie in round 1, the only round in which sourcing was offered by either participant, but since Con's argument sources overwhelmed pro's sources, points to Con.

S&G: Con wins by volume of argument and, therefore, greater risk of losing S&G point, but did not.

Conduct: By full forfeiture, Pro loses conduct point.

I am not sharp enough to read the argument and justify them sufficiently, but what I do know is that Pro forfeited.
