The major goal of the study of debate as a [[method]] or [[art]] is to develop one's ability to play from either position with equal ease. To inexperienced debaters, some propositions appear easier to defend or to destroy; to [[experience]]d debaters, any proposition can be defended or destroyed after the same amount of preparation time, usually quite short. Lawyers argue [[force]]fully on behalf of their client, even if the facts appear against them. However one large misconception about debate is that it is all about argument; it is not.
