-Underview – Delay, Severance and intrinsicness perms are voting issues, they explode aff ground by granting the 1AR access to an infinite number of policy options and kill stable advocacy by letting the aff kick out of all links to disadvantages. Ground is key to fairness because equal access to offense determines access to the ballot. Stable advocacy is key to fairness because I can’t engage his arguments if he keeps changing them. Fairness is a voter- it’s constitutive of any competitive activity and drop the debater- the only way to compensate from the time skew of devastating short arguments is a loss. |
