Waffles are better than pancakes

My opponent has not refuted my arguments.As promised, I present my rebuttal in this round.1. Portion control:When making pancakes, we have a much better control over portion size. The waffle toaster needs the same amount of batter every time. Too much and it will overflow, leaving a mess. Too little and the waffle will not have its full shape, it will be ugly and have wholes through which the syrup will drip.Pancakes DO vary in size. If you are on a diet, you just make smaller pancakes, like the delicious "silver dollar pancakes". Pancakes clearly offer more control, BECAUSE they vary - as my opponent admits.2. Geometric shapeThe absorption of butter on waffles is terrible as compared to pancakes. Butter needs to warm up to be spread. The pockets on a waffle make it almost impossible t fill them with butter, because there's less resistance and surface, keeping the butter hard, which means the butter will not spread evenly. This is a common problem; "pancakes are better because it's easier to spread butter than on waffles. With waffles, a big hunk of butter gets stuck in one of the holes and makes for an uneven buttering." says a user on https://answers.yahoo.com... .Nothing flows down from pancakes, of course, if you roll them, as shown above.3. EffortWhen you make pancakes, there's always less of a mess. Take only a tablespoon too much of batter, and the batter will flow over and make a mess of your waffle toaster and the table, leaving you with bits of batter to clean up later. So, the time you save in baking the waffle, you lose again with cleaning.Pancake batter is made in a bowl and poured in the pan. If you use too much batter, you get a thicker pancake, but nothing will overflow. A pan is easily cleaned. After a bit of practice, you can flip the pancake without even touching it, just throwing it in the air. So, there's hardly any cleaning to do. And you look cool if you can flip pancakes. Filling a waffle toaster will never make you look cool.4. ConsistencyThis makes no sense. If you ill batter in the waffle iron, you can not even see what's happening. If you check too early, your waffle will stick to the top and be torn apart, leaving a huge mess. With pancakes, you always see what's happening. A pancake in most of its varieties is a few millimeters thin. There can be no chunky batter, you can actually SEE with your own eyes when it's done.5. TimeMy opponent provides an "appeal to extremes"-fallacy. British pancakes, for example, are baked for 80 seconds in total."Cook the pancake for approximately 30-40 seconds. Use a palette knife to lift the pancake carefully to look at the underside to check it is golden-brown before turning over. Cook the other side for approx 30-40 seconds and transfer to a serving plate."http://www.bbc.co.uk...So, in conclusion, my opponent is largely wrong because he ignores the huge variety of pancakes, condemning the entire, huge palette because of apparently one specific recipe he's come to know at home: one with thick, soggy dough that needs long cooking.But we may not judge all pancakes for but one example.Their incredible range and heritage makes pancakes at least slightly superior to waffles. Waffles are not better than pancakes.
