Debater's tip (Say something new): Adds value: a new example, a fresh angle, a fact with numbers, linking two ideas, a practical solution, a helpful question. Adds nothing: repeating, “I agree” and no more, going off topic, long pointless stories, slogans, made-up figures. If your point is taken, add a new angle or example instead of repeating it.
