The Theory of Parli: July 2012
http://theoryofparli.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
The Theory of Parli. Monday, July 2, 2012. Answering some comments - Stories and Speed. Will, can you extrapolate on "The more detailed a projection of the future, the less likely it is to come to pass"? While this makes sense from a rational position it seems that in debate rounds it is important to provide the most detailed scenario for impact comparison.". And Nassim Taleb goes into a great amount of detail about the problem in The Black Swan. I'm interested in your aphorism, "If you can't win a fast ...

The other three topics show no statistically significant bias either way. Links to this post.

Open source debate statistics. Thursday, July 23, 2009. Changing the speaker point scale. The Georgia State tournament is moving to a 100-point speaker point scale next year. This will make them the third large [ N.B. Tournament to use a non-standard scale. I have put up some charts of how changing the scale affected point distributions at Wake and USC. Are any other tournament directors planning on switching point scales? If you considered doing so, but decided not to, what stopped you? Looking for rese...

The Theory of Parli: Annotations on an implicit ballot
http://theoryofparli.blogspot.com/2012/06/annotations-on-implicit-ballot.html
The Theory of Parli. Tuesday, June 12, 2012. Annotations on an implicit ballot. Better to make a bad decision than to refrain from making one. If the alternative is magic, the permutation won't save you. Better to use absurdities to your advantage than to explain why they are absurd. Better to explain why they are absurd than to scoff. Debate is a game. If you can defend it as such, you shouldn't lose framework. If you want to change the norms of the community, win debates under the current set of norms.
