The KCA is Sound

I must apologize to the audience that this debate, which initially had the potential to be something great, has been marred by Apeiron's unsporting breach of the debate's terms and (most recently) by his lies.Almost everything he says in defense of himself is disingenuous in some way. For one, he claims to have exceeded Round 3's character limit to make up for technical difficulties experienced in Round 2. Though Round 2 was already near maximum! If you count the characters of R2 like DDO counts them (with spaces included), it comes out to about 7,795. Barely enough for anything else.To clarify the PM he so respectfully posted without my permission (the "P" in "PM" stands for "private," Apeiron): we were discussing the pictures he had tried to post but failed in R2; I thought he had only meant to post pictures in the actual sense of the word with some minor header text explaining them, not pictures in the "Apeiron" sense of the word which apparently means just blocks of text. Obviously, I never would have agreed to let him post double the text that is supposed to be allowed.For two, he says even if you count the pictures, he only went above the character limit by a measly 1,000, that there were only a couple paragraphs posted in picture format. To this I say, he shouldn't make claims that are not only false, but easily proven to be false.When I said I copied/pasted his entire R3 argument into a Word document and typed out everything that was part of a "picture," I wasn't bluffing. I didn't do what I'm about to do now in my last round because I didn't think he'd take exception to my tally of ~17,900; I thought Apeiron was smart enough to know how easy it would be to prove, but here were are: standing in the face of Apeiron's assurance that my count was waaaaay off. Apparently, he thinks I can't count even when Microsoft Word does the counting for me.Alright then, fair enough. I now urge Apeiron, and every member of the audience here, to confirm for him-/herself my tally's accuracy. I took his argument, written in its entirety, and posted it to a thread here on DDO. Threads have an identical character limit to debate arguments: 8,000 characters. Lo and behold, it took me THREE thread posts to fully post his argument (over two debate rounds full of content, which is more than he even had left at the time). The link to this thread is here so that you may copy/past the text in a Word document and see for yourself:http://www.debate.org...Note that since posting his argument, Apeiron has somehow deleted a few of the "pictures" of text from his round. But you can still see the image stamps where they once were (labeled as numbers "1", "2", etc.) and if you look at the bottom of Apeiron's argument, you can see he's listed sources [14] and [15] but citations for those sources appear nowhere in his round! This is because they were part of the pictures he deleted, and if you click on the link I provided to his fully written argument, you can see them.To conclude, I must say (though it may be unsportsmanlike) I truly hope Apeiron does not win this debate; not because I personally want the win. As I've said, my interest in this debate has plummeted. But because I sincerely hope it's not possible to win a debate here on DDO by doing what Apeiron has done, by cheating and lying.
