4. 1AR theory is legitimate and the hghest layer of the round because otherwise the 1N has infinite abuse, it’s drop the debater because the 2N could concede the shell and win another layer, Competing interp cause better norm and it’s no RVI since a 6-minute 2N dump on theory makes the 2AR impossible. Introduced first, if nc is abusive don’t evaluate any of it.
