But if you watch national debate championships, they all talk much faster even than I do. I don't sound like a rambling idiot, and if I did the issue wouldn't be my speed. The way the event works is it rewards people who talk faster. We literally won every argument in the round, and the opposing team pretty much conceded all of them. Her entire RFD was what I said and "their arguments were stronger" with no explanation. It's fine to drop us, but if you're going to, you should have an actual reason.
