Often debate isn't to convince the person you're talking to. Debate is to convince all the people on the edge who listen to it. Debate is for those who haven't made up their mind yet and can be convinced by the arguments of one of the two debaters

Only true master debaters understand this

True, but there needs to be an emotional component. I don't think people are going to upend their diet and commit longterm without emotional investment. There will always be that part trying to rationalize a little oppression, you know, vegetarians. Plus saying that I believe how we treat animals is incomprehensibly horrendous but in a matter-of-fact way is just gonna come across as insincere because it is.
