Rap battles on DDO should be freestyled on the spot

Thanks, TS.FrameworkPro has attempted to shift the goalposts of the resolution in his last round in soite of not disputing any of my framework or burden analysis in earlier rounds. Note that the resolution requires him to take the position that all rap battles on DDO should be freestyled on the spot. This is his burden of proof, but he has attempted to change this, as shown in his conclusion, to "encouraging freestyles on DDO." This is not the resolution. As I pointed out last round and as he has, once again, dropped, he is arguing for X, whereas I am arguing for X + Y. He wants to replace all other forms of rap battles with freestyles, whereas my position is to leave them be and allow people to decide. Regarding quoting, Pro is right that I didn't quote every bit of his argument. I don't have enough space. I have responded to every single argument he put forward and, unlike him, I haven't strawmanned or dropped any contentions he put forward. He claims that I only quoted half of what he said. The bolded portion, "within seconds and use it to defeat your opponent," is utterly irrelevant. Freestyling is fast and one person is going to win, so I'm not disputing the bold statement because it's part and parcel of the definition of freestyling. I refuted the rest of the statement which contained his argument, which he has conceded on. He says that freestyling allows you to rap about many subjects. This may be true, but so does regular battle rap. This doesn't at all differentiate it from battle rap, and I disputed his last statement because he attempted to claim that freestyling, ipso facto, demonstrates creativity and diversity, and I provided an example -- and later on my argument about "filler" words, which he also conceded -- as to how this wasn't the case. He quotes from Wikia showing there are two types of freestyle. This point is irrelevant, because both are "on the spot," per se, but the first one appears random, aimless, and sporadic. This doesn't advance his BOP.He has absolutely no idea what ancedotal evidence is: "non-scientific observations or studies, which do not provide proof but may assist research efforts" [1]. Note that I said this with respect to his contention that he freestyles most of his rap battles on DDO because he cannot prove this to be the case. He says that the point isn't to prove that he freestyled -- note he doesn't have any idea what inductive reasoning is -- but to demonstrate why we should, but HIS point was that he has done it and believes that he has been successful, so he basically concedes that he can't prove this point via an anecdote. He claims that my assertion is as baseless as saying that DDO users took the time to create their own lyrics, but this cannot be the case: people either freestyle or create their own raps, and it follows that, because rounds tend to be several days long, people devote time to the rhymes. However, the BOP is on TS, not me, so HE must be able to demonstrate that people freestyle. He concedes my point that people draw inspiration from people things and then says that I haven't proven why people shouldn't freestyle. He is shifting the goalposts: that is NOT my burden. Again, I am arguing for X + Y and not X. If someone doesn't feeel comfortable freestyling, perhaps because they're new to the site, they should not be made to freestyle. He claims he was trying to prove that freestyled raps are "better," but he cannot do this if he (1) cannot prove which raps were freestyled and (2) continues to drop my point that effectiveness is subjective. I win this debate on this second point alone. He claims freestyling allows you to use your surroundings and increases your ability to write lyrics faster. He only asserts this, and it may be true, but he doesn't demonstrate how this differentiates freestyling from battle rap. He claims that it improves flow and creativity, but does nothing more than cite an anonymous blog post. This is nothing more than assertion, and even if it were true, he does not differentiate it from ordinary battle rap.He goes on to discuss free writing, but drops my last rebuttal that free writing is impossible with five-minute rounds. Moreover, you can actually free write with extended rap battles, but so this point flips to my side. He then cites a loosely related article to explain how we can tell the difference between freestyling and non-freestyling, the first of which involves a cam (note that most DDO rap battles are not conducted by cam). This contention is completely non-topical. He then asserts that freestyles are "better," but this point is moot with Pro having dropped my point on subjectivity twice now. His point on "pointing things out in the environment" quickly is not sourced to a scientific study or any valid evidence, so we can discard the point entirely. It also doesn't differentiate freestyle from non-freestyle rap. He then goes on with another non-topical rant, and says that "with freestyling, there's more fluidity and creativity." This is only an assertion that he hasn't proved at all. He has not demonstrated to us that this is a categorical distinction between freestyle and non-freestyle battle rap, and by conceding on quality in the last round, this point actually flows to my side because, especially with newer members, this would be an extrordinarily hard task. His point about interactions in rap battles is meaningless, because people respond to each other both in freestyle and non-freestyle battle rap. Flipping bars is standard protocol, and in no way differentiates one from the other.He then strawmans my argument AGAIN. I never assumed that people would forfeit. I said that this would likely increased the rate at which people forfeit with such short rounds. Note, also, that he attempts to shift the burden of proof, which is and always has been on Pro. His point about two-day rounds is irrelevant, also, because he dropped my rebuttal from last round that this would completely destroy the entire purpose of the process he is attempting to set up. He, again, dropped my critique of his concession on "business," with which he conceded the debate earlier on. He has not refuted my argument that this would clog the site with low-quality debates. He strawmanned my argument by suggesting that I said rap battles are ipso facto low quality, but in reality I noted that short-round, ad-hoc rap battles would encourage newer members and boosters to use this to their advantage. This point was AGAIN dropped. He again strawmans my argument. When did I say that he can't prove rap would be better with research? I stated that freestyle rap doesn't ALLOW you to research, and Pro said that you should simply go off of what you know, and pointed to his debate with Ajab as an example. He then goes on to misread my argument. I didn't quote his entire argument, but responded to it at all. I already addressed "freestyling" on paper and how this would be utterly impossible with such short rounds and may intimidate newer members. He claims that I haven't "cited any sources." For the last time, the burden of proof is on Pro, not on me. I presented this as a possibility, and he hasn't rebutted my claim. Moreover, I have never rapped before, and I know I would be too intimidated to freestyle (note this goes beyond what is needed for this point to stick). If he is so content in his arguments with respect to newer members and practice, why doesn't he give them the OPTION to freestyle their raps and see which style they like best? Again, he wants X, whereas I want X + Y. He wants to limit choices, whereas I want to expand them and let newer members to decide. He claims that I presented a "biased" scenario. No, I presented a plausible scenario of what could actually take place, and you conceded that quality takes time. It is not an assumption that the person created a "bad freestyle," but rather the point was rendered under the possibility that someone did, be it because of nerves, inexperience, tongue-tie, etc. He falsely claims that I ignored what he said aobut "implementing what you already know." No, you can do that as well. My only point was that DDO values research and learning, and I cited a quote, which he fails to respond to. He then strawmans me ONCE AGAIN by claiming that I stated rap battles are troll debates. This isn't what I said, and anyone can re-read my past argument to see that. Airmax is a fine rapper, but his debate wth TS was not a troll debate, though TS did forfeit three rounds in a row [2]. Pro fails to read my last argument. I did quote from the study: I noted that freestyling decreases activity in parts of the brain "control and supress" and, as Pro himself said, increases activity in areas that lead to "freer oral expression." This does in fact prove my point that this could possibly lead to rash behavior, and Pro fails to respond to this argument at all. Dropped and Conceded Arguments-Pro has the burden of proof -Busyness may preclude short rap battles (conceded) -People have different preferences, perhaps due to personal factors (e.g., ADHD) -Effectiveness is subjective-Trade-off between time and quality (conceded) -Free-writing is impossible in 5 minutes-Longer rounds defeat the purpose of freestyle-X versus X + Y -- it is possible to have both freestyle and non-freestyle raps under my system -Freestyling does not necessarily lead to greater creativity or diversity -The fault in his own study-He cannot prove which raps were freestyled and which weren't, so any attempts at analysis of past raps is moot -Increased likelihood of forfeiting/boosting/troll debates-Disregards what DDO stands for regarding research, effort and commitment-Breeds cheating-Encourages filler (conceded) ConclusionPro has dropped and conceded far too many points and failed to carry his own burden of proof. As a result, it follows that you should vote Con. Thank you to TS and our audience.SOURCES[1] - http://tinyurl.com...[2] - http://tinyurl.com...
