Hey, you're pretty smart yourself.  And correct.  I'll engage this paradox more 
directly in a minute.  But let's phiolosophize together:  if institutional 
structures produces different outcomes on different groups even though it 
treats everybody the same, then should that institution treat everyone the 
same?  And if your answer is yes, then how do we address those differences in 
outcome?  And if your answer is, no, the new question is can that institution 
treat folks differently in a competitive game that calls for "equity and 
fairness"?
 
I feel less like Plato and more like the Riddler (from the TV series or the 
movie).

Subject: Re: [eDebate] [CEDA-L] The costs of a game, part 1:  An    unethical,
If Louisville's arguments are about method, and the negative is structurally 
required (or incentivized) to dispute the affirmative, how could any debate 
with Louisville _not_ be about method?

Other than that, this reminds me of Gorgias. Perhaps Ede is Plato/Socrates in 
disguise (although certainly smarter and of finer metal).

In jest (sorta),
