Understanding Other Points of View
A few weeks before the debates, however, they are informed that it is the task of each to present the point of view of the opponent in a way that's satisfactory to the opponent - so the opponent will say, 'Yes, that's a fair presentation of my views.' In the joint written debate they explore their differences, but also how the debate process has helped them better to understand the opposing point of view.

Notes
People in debates should be required to articulate the opposing viewpoint to their opponent's satisfaction.
