That greenlights a race away from the core topic controversies that allow for robust contestation, which favors the aff by making neg ground inapplicable, susceptible to the perm, and concessionary. Two additional impacts:Accessibility – Cutting negs to every possible aff wrecks small schools, which has a disparate impact on under-resourced and minority debaters. Counter-interpretations are arbitrary, unpredictable, and don't solve the world of neg prep because there's no grounding in the resolutionLink turns their education offense – getting to the third and fourth level of tactical engagement is only possible with refined and well-researched positions connected to the resolutional mechanism. Repeated debates over core issues incentivize innovative argument production and improved advocacy based on feedback and nuanced responses from opponents.They can't get offense: we don't exclude them, only persuade you that our methodology is best. Every debate requires a winner and loser, so voting negative doesn't reject them from debate, it just says they should make a better argument next time.

SeptOct - T - Nebel MedicinesTournament: Nano Nagle Classic | Round: 1 | Opponent: Mission San Jose SR | Judge: Parth Misra Interpretation: “medicines” in the context of the resolution is a generic bare plural. The aff may not defend that member nations ought to reduce intellectual property protections for a subset and/or specific medicines.The upward entailment test and adverb test determine the genericity of a bare pluralLeslie and Lerner 16 Sarah-Jane Leslie, Ph.D., Princeton, 2007.

It applies to “medicines” – 1 upward entailment test – “member nations ought to reduce intellectual property protections for medicines” doesn’t entail that the nations ought to reduce IP protections for substances because it doesn’t apply to things like food. 2 adverb test – adding “usually” to the res doesn’t substantially change its meaning because current guidelines apply to all medicines.Violation: they defend sex-hormone agents – this was clarified in crossStandards:1 Precision - The aff’s model of debate entails arbitrarily doing away with particular words in the resolution and they are thus no longer bound by the actual topic. Precision outweighs: a jurisdiction - the judge only has the jurisdiction to vote based on the topic, illegitimate affs fall outside of that and make resolving the round impossible b the resolution is the only stable stasis point for research - non-topical affs skew the round in your favor by ensuring that no one will prep you out which kills fairness2 Limits - the FDA’s Orange Book of approved drug products (https://www.fda.gov/media/71474/download) is 1681 pages long and doesn’t include medicines from other countries. That explodes limits - there’s thousands of affs, ignoring any combinations of different medicines you can defend. The aff sticks the neg with an insane prep burden that’s uniquely bad for under-resourced small school debaters - kills fairness because prep is a prerequisite to engaging in the round3 Ground - there’s no universal DA since all advantages have marginal differences between internal links--that gets rid of all neg ground. Generics don’t solve a they don’t exist - there are infinite possible affs which means there’s at least one that doesn’t link b telling us to run NCs or Ks because there aren’t any generic DAs/CPs stifles policy making education and forces us to debate in ways we aren’t used toParadigm Issues:TVA solves - read your advantage under a whole res affFairness is a voter - a you concede its authority by adhering to speech times and assuming all of your arguments will be evaluated fairly b debate is a game in which fairness has intrinsic value c fairness ensures participation in debate - if all the rounds were ridiculously skewed no one would participateEducation is a voter - a it’s the only portable impact of debate and b the only reason why schools fund it in the first placeDrop the debater - a drop the arg means drop the 1AC which forces 1AR restart and causes 7-6 aff time skew b deters future abuseCompeting interps - a it’s k2 finding the best norm b reasonability is arbitrary; brightlines are crafted to always get you the W which skews the round massively in your favor c reasonability leads to a race to the bottom and that’s a resolvability issueNo RVIs - a it’s illogical - you don’t win for being fair and/or topical b RVIs bait theory so the debate becomes about the better theory debater and not the better norm, c negating is harder - aff gets first and last speech plus judge psychology: they can easily do a grandstand in the 2AR on T and win every time. | 10/8/21 |
