I studied debating with a quantum physics professor who turned it into math. He taught us how to see arguments using an equation he created. After using this method it made things simple and arguments become second nature. I don't even bother with people's stupid arguments on here because they are based on opinions and opinions aren't facts. .
Ben Shapiro uses the same methods but I'd say he uses 60% of what he was taught. If you analyze Ben's methods and break it down--he starts off my saying his own opinion then goes into the argument.
You are not supposed to use your own opinion and that's why he is wrong. There is no emotion in arguments. There is no I think in arguments. Arguments should be based on facts alone, universal truths that determine the validity of any given topic.
