Background <strong>of</strong> the critic:<br />

I am a policy judge. I like policy. Policy is better than fact or value. Every resolution is <br />

policy. I debated and coached CEDA/NDT for years so I like policy. <br />

Approach <strong>of</strong> the critic to decision-making (for example, ad<strong>here</strong>nce to the trichotomy, <br />

stock-issues, policymaker, tabula rasa, etc.): <br />

I defualt to net benefits. <br />

Relative importance <strong>of</strong> presentation/communication skills to the critic in decision-making <br />

: <br />

If I can't understand you I can't flow you. <br />

Relative importance <strong>of</strong> on-case argumentation to the critic in decision-making: <br />

Offense wins debates. <br />

Openness to critical/performative styles <strong>of</strong> debating: <br />

Critical/performative styles <strong>of</strong> debate went out with grunge in the early 90's. <br />

Any additional comments: <br />
