Exclusive PICs good - b Moving target i Allowing the Aff to just kick out of harms to their advocacy by claiming that Exclusive PICs are illegitimate

Exclusive PICs good. A) Counter interpretation. a. Running one PIC is legitimate negative ground. b. Running one PIC is legitimate negative strategy. B) I meet. C) Standards a. Textual accuracy. i.

Strategy is key to fairness because it is what determines the combination of arguments one can make to win the debate, and if that is skewed, then one has no chance of recovering. Strategy is key to education because it adds an extra layer of learning to debate, from purely research to the basis of argumentation and tactical decision making....
