Makes sense. Part of what I think is that a debate methodology is of limited use for issues like the debate starting conditions, and much can be accomplished for rationality without any formal debate methodology, but I could be wrong.
Based on your other comments, I think we likely agree that sometimes formal rules and policies are not just important but essential; but when I think of those I’m not really thinking of debate methodology. Could just be a lack of imagination from my part though.
