Should contenders always win?
A free win will be given to pro if they can refute the following argument: Contenders should not always win because sometimes they fail to post even remotely logical arguments that can challenge that of the instigator. While the instigator has the advantage, most topics on DDO are balanced and researchable for both sides, making it a toss up between the two sides, leaving the contender as the One who may not post better arguments, like me....
