The constraint
A television debate makes a useful distinction visible: having an opinion and being able to defend it are different tasks. The format limits time, invites interruption and makes imprecision public.
The structure
One workable structure is a claim, the reason for it, and the condition under which it would change. A short answer becomes more useful when the listener can see all three.
Author contribution pending
This sample outline is not a transcript or an account of a specific exchange. The final note should use one actual moment from the seven appearances, with a clip and the author’s explanation of his position.
