 * Paradigm**: "The Philosopher and the Physician"

> Flow - centric > Non - interventionist > Speed - friendly

But even though rounds are won and lost //on the flow//, speaker points are won and lost //off the flow// (i.e. crossfire).

Therefore, on the flow you should be //the philosopher// presenting a clear framework in which to evaluate the round in for me and then using that framework to weigh the arguments therein, and //off the flow// you should be //the physician//, //painlessly// and //effortlessly// identifying and removing your opponents arguments yet leaving them alive.

In case you haven't noticed, I //thoroughly// enjoy italicizing words I believe to be //especially// important.
