Thanks for voting

@TNBinc

And yes, I do think inside the debate that would be a good habit. Plus it's something you might reflect back to for a good example of how you did it before.

-->
@TNBinc

On a tougher debate I would be more inclined to delete it, but this one is too straight forward.

Again, in future just put that stuff inside the debate (possibly in the penultimate round, so that the person has a chance to respond).

@Barney

oh ok did not know that.

@Barney

Oh sorry I was just trying to provide a summary of the debate for those who did not want to read the whole argument. Can you please delete it?

-->
@TNBinc

I suggest not doing that type of summary in the comments. Inside a debate it is fine, but in the comments it risks trying to bias voters.

Here is a summary of the debate:

round 1:
Pro shows how accepting the debate was a mistake
I refute and say Bop as well as evidence

round 2:
Pro says he made a grammar mistake. He further says not noticing that was a mistake (does this mean he wants to give spelling and grammar to me?) Pro half conceded.
I remind Pro it is not my duty to correct your grammar mistakes but to argue against. I successfully argue my claim.

round 3:
Pro says I am doing great (which is one step from saying he concedes). He says Grammarly is unreliable.
Pro uses incorrect logic to show someone else lost the debate therefore I am going to lose.
I show even with another editor, Paperrater, that I made no mistakes. I correctly state that that is incorrect logic.

round 4:
Pro has nothing else to say other than repeating his round 3, which I successfully refuted.
I have nothing to say other than my argument still stands which has not swayed my opinion.

round 5:
Pro has nothing else to say other than repeating his round 1, which I have already refuted multiple times.
I conclude that I have made no mistakes proven by Grammarly and Paperrater and that Pro has not pointed out any mistakes.

Pro used off topic sources while I used sources that are coherent with the debate.

Pro even admitted he made a spelling/grammar mistake while I have made none.

Our ratings are different.

@seldiora

That is not logically justified.

Is it not a fallacy to assume that one persons failure results in another persons failure? But what fallacy is this?

-->
@seldiora

what do you mean "what is wrong with this argument"

Well you did day a mistake not multiple mistakes. If that isn't what you meant I might offer constructive criticism by saying in a formal debate setting l I'll e this it behooves you to be precise in your language. As it stands now you would lose on a technicality.

-->
@secularmerlin

You could argue that, but intuitively the logic doesn't follow. Kinda like how two wrongs do not make a right, compounding it with more single instances of a mistake does not negate that a mistake occurred.

If I were to accept this challenge I would simply make two or more mistakes rendering pro's claim that con will make a mistake false.
