Pro bailing on the first round was fatal to their position because Con opened up with a very literal interpretation, which was clever. I thought Pro had a chance to bring this back, because the need vs want contextual is psychological, however, Pro flushed it when they admitted to the literal meaning of the word.
Everything Con said was true. Ergo Con wins.
Con's argument relies heavily on their proposed definition of need, but it is never directly challenged. It's clear that validation is required in some circumstances, and Pro calls Con's description of the resolution "literal." Hence, if I take the resolution at face value, that would favor Con as well.
The debate title was more of a question than a proposition.
Its something I have been pondering really hard on and yes, it may seem confusing, I know. What are your thoughts on this topic?
Not mutually exclusive. I forgot what the fancy word for this fallacy is, but I am pretty sure that the topic involves a fallacy here.
My bad, i'll post my argument next time.
