The problem with debate in the US is that it always devolves in gish gallop nonsense because everyone does L-D in the US which is about overwhelming the other person with too many things for them to respond to, meaning you win on a technicality. It's like teaching to a standardized test. Did you learn something? Yes. Is it useful outside of the context of that standardized test? Eh kind of maybe sometimes, generally not.
Seriously talk to someone who did debate in high school. It's wildly frustrating. The goal isn't even a "debate." It's submission.
