DJ Tiesto is the best DJ in the world

I am trying to show that previous accomplishments are the best criteria in determining whether someone is the best or not. <><><><> 1. Awards It does prove that others are not more excellent, because he has the most accomplishments, in this case awards. Because he has the most accomplishments, he is the best. "Some appear to be multiple entries, for example "TMF Award Holland Best National DJ" appears twice with two separate dates but also twice again nearer the top of the list without a date for either. This and other duplications suggest the list may not be accurate, especially as my opponent seems to have combined lists from two different sites." "Yes, I acknowledged that he won it in multiple years." No, you didn't. You tried to prove that they were inaccurate, which they are not. "Producing and being an artist are completely separate activities and skills to DJing and mixing tracks together is different to remixing." Produce- "to bring into existence by intellectual or creative ability" dictionary.com DJing involves bringing into existence music by intellectual or creative ability. Artist- "a person who works in one of the performing arts, as an actor, musician, or singer; a public performer" dictionary.com A DJ is a public performer. "Thanks" Your welcome, anytime. http://en.wikipedia.org... DJing goes into 84 categories. There is a lot more to it than just selecting and playing music as you say. "DJing =/= other music related categories." DJing= beatmatching, beatmixing, chopping, scratching, along with many others. Those are music related categories, are they not? "No, even if awards were a good indicator (which they aren't for reasons I've explained), previous awards would only tell us who WAS the best not who IS the best (DJ in the world)." Again, I will revert back to my previous round. My opponent has yet to answer the question: why are Michael Jordan and John Wooden considered presently as the best at being a basketball player and college basketball coach respectively? They are obviously not presently the best at what they do, yet they are still considered as such. I can also show many other persons/objects who are considered presently as the best even though they take into account the past to determine it: Best painting in the world: http://www.listology.com... Best baseball player- http://baseballguru.com... Best unfunny comedian- http://coedmagazine.com... Best Movie- http://www.time.com... And the list goes on… Previous accomplishments do tell you who is the best. "Tiesto was found 2nd best even once" Like I said, previous accomplishment"s" determine who is the best. Basing who is the best off of one award is irrational. You have to take into account multiple awards over multiple years. <><><><> 2. Opinion Skills = Subjective. Fact = Objective. Subjective =/= Objective. Skills =/= Fact. This makes no sense either. Subjectivity- "Subjectivity refers to a person's perspective or opinion, particular feelings, beliefs, and desires." -Wikipedia Skills are subjective. You may feel that one person has skills, while I feel that another person has better skills. It is your opinion or perspective, therefore it is subjective. How do you determine who has the best "skills?" Popular opinion, similar to awards. <><><><> 3. Skills "As explained above and on the various links" DJ's record mixes to play at events. Your source says "This list may not reflect recent changes." How can I be sure that the ones that I have mentioned are not categories after all? Syncing, nudging, and cross fading are also categories, yet they are not listed (1). All of your sources are from Wikipedia too. Category- "A general class of ideas, terms, or things that mark divisions or coordination's within a conceptual scheme" dictionary.com "I confidently assert that DJ Tiesto is far from a master of any of these." Prove it then. Define master and prove objectively that Tiesto is not a master of them. "Take a look at the first two videos I posted and tell me if Tiesto is on this level." This is clearly subjective. I think Tiesto is way above their levels. How are you going to prove me wrong? It is all based on opinion. "a well-rounded and broad appreciation of music is a vital DJ attribute" Source? <><><><> The best way to measure whether someone is the 'best' at something is to look at all of their accomplishments. I have shown that DJ Tiesto is the most accomplished DJ, therefore resolution is affirmed. Vote PRO. 1. http://bpmdj.yellowcouch.org...
