"I have a thorough idea of what sort of issues might come up and what my proposals for those issues are" "Well how the fuck is that fair?"

Right? It isn't like the issues are obscured here. A decent debate prep team will be able to predict 95% of the themes the questions will cover, and prep answer that can be tailored to whatever the specific question might be. That is the entire point of debate prep - anticipate, plan and practice.

The fact that Mary prepped better than Dan isn't some gotcha.
