No, everyone sacrifices to excel at other areas. People who are 10 in many are often very good but inferior to greats who specialise.

Oromagi is a specialist and is outperforming many who have 9/10 inore categories than him.

I'd love to be enlightened, but I've never seen Ben debate a non-college student with a million times more research and thought-out arguments realized and at the ready. And the one time he did... It wasn't good for Ben. 

EDIT: Deleted an exaggeration

I think proving yourself as a great debater requires a good amount of debates with people who know what they're talking about. Then you can't use charisma and immediate knowledge of various research to more or less cruise to victory. 

I've watched plenty of Ben Shapiro destroys college liberal stuff. It's fun to watch. It is, intuitively, not a display of a debate-master at work.
