Please go ahead and write your article! I’d be very interested in reading about this kind of thing. Even if part of debating is black arts stuff with winning the debate’ rather than search for thruth no matter where she lies (to put it a bit melodramatic), it’s good at least to be good at recognizing* the tricks.
The same is true for amusing, easy-reading stuff like The Game or The 48 laws of Power; you don’t want to take it too serious, but it’s good to be aware of it, as one can observe some of it in daily life, and understanding helps. That’s not meant as sarcasm—I’m interested in what you learned about debating, and hopefully I can learn something from it.
