[QUOTE="zippy2006, post: 77620229, member: 342410"] Sure, and then the question is, "Can one successfully cheat in a debate by lying?" In certainly small ways I suppose one could effectively cheat in a debate by lying, but I don't know that it would amount to large gains. For example, if one is giving false statistics that are crucial to the debate, then they will likely be asked to source their data. I think the lying would come in more subtle ways, like "playing dumb" or resorting to intellectual dishonesty when backed into a corner, as I spoke about earlier. You are right, this is certainly not lying. For example, the earlier poster was mistaken when they claimed that using a handle other than your real name is lying. If there is no intent to deceive and no real possibility of deception, then one is not lying. (E.g. no one is tempted to believe that my real name is Zippy2006) [/QUOTE]
