Description

I need to defend the statement in the title.
My opponent must establish beyond reasonable doubt that the title is untrue. The same burden of proof applies to my defence.
What constitutes beyond reasonable doubt of course comes down to the discretion of the voter.

Though I disagree, in principle, Pro did bring sound, sourced arguments to the table that have merit and ought to be considered and would have been compelling even had Con brought argument. Well done, Nevets.
