Ok, for example with this resolution would you vote for a position that
said that appropriate would be impossible to determine. If so than you
are saying it would be impossible for the affirmative to prove every word
in the resolution and thus a negative ballot would be warranted. If this
position was agrueed correctly every round than I am claiming the negative
should win because they have proven the resolution untrue without ever
addressing the affirmative case. Would you vote for a position that
claimed that every single affirmative should lose. (I know the answer, but
I'd like evryone else to hear it for arguments sake}
