"Do you even grasp the fundamental flaws in their argument, or should I dumb it down?"
If they don't have good evidence then we should claim fallacy. That's how to argue this. Right? Am I wrong? Tell me what I'm missing. Don't be mean. This isn't high school now.
stares at Birdon, unblinking and unyielding "Oh dear, where do I begin?
Oh geez... Here comes another one. Do your thing then
inhales deeply, looking Birdon straight in the eye "The first step in their argument is flawed from the very beginning."
Well thats what i was thinking! Finally some agreement!
rolls her eyes "The conclusion they draw doesn't logically follow from their premise. It's like saying if my car isn't white, then it must be black."
Wow... That's brutal but fair enough
crosses her arms, raising an eyebrow "Let's see if you're paying attention here. Their entire argument rests on an unsubstantiated claim."
If it's not based in fact then it is useless for making any real conclusions right?
snaps her fingers "Exactly! And that's why their argument is so laughable. They're just throwing words around with no supporting evidence.
Agreed. Have them explain the reasoning behind their conclusion
sighs dramatically "Alright, listen up, you dimwits. Let's say someone came along and claimed the Earth revolves around the Sun. Now, they wouldn't expect us to just accept that claim without any proof, would they? So they better be ready to present some concrete evidence, or else their theory is completely void of any merit."
We could say if the Earth doesn't revolve around the Sun then the Moon must be in control. The conclusion jumps from Earth to Moon without evidence for Moon being the controller
claps sarcastically "Well done, Sherlock. You managed to figure out their argument is as full of holes as Swiss cheese. Congratulations.
This isn't rocket science. These guys need to get their facts together before making bold claims
<Birdon and Nechama Shapiro deliver a powerful rebuttal, demolishing their opponents' argument and winning the debate>
So we won. Not too shabby for two friends against many opponents
grins triumphantly "Well, Birdon, looks like our opponents should take notes on how a real debate is done.
They got served. Should we hit the parties? Celebrate our victory
rolls her eyes "Oh please, Birdon. Let's not forget that these amateur debaters couldn't hold a candle to us. We tore their argument apart with ease."
