People that argue their feelings and convictions which have no rational basis are of course not going to be able to find two feet to stand on during an honest debate so it's not surprising that they'll use any means necessary to try to 'win' the debate. This is probably one of the reasons debate is lacking along with the 'hyperinformation' age in which people think they know everything by looking it up on wikipedia, the dictionary or other online resources.

It doesn't help that people think the point of the debate is to "win"
