A sparring gym for arguments
Win the argument worth winning.
Debate AI opponents that argue in bad faith on purpose. Every strawman, moved goalpost and loaded question gets named as it happens — and you learn to answer it honestly.
Let's be honest about what you're proposing. Why are you so determined to let students fall behind?
Loaded question · pressure
How to answer: Reject the premise first — nobody proposed that — then answer the fair version of the question.
01 · Recognise
Name the move.
Every tactic your opponent uses is underlined and named in the margin, with the sentence that carries it and a good-faith way to answer.
The Spin Doctor
So what you're really saying is that rules don't matter at all?
Strawman
Restate your actual claim in one sentence and ask them to answer that version.
02 · Respond
Hold your ground.
Answer the move, not the noise. Each reply is scored on relevance, evidence, clarity and civility — and on whether it countered the tactic.
Moving the goalposts
✓ “What evidence would change your mind?” — asked up front.
03 · Reflect
Argue in good faith.
Your own fallacies get a red-pen note. Winning by manipulation scores nothing here — the debrief tells you what to sharpen next.

We teach defence, not offence.
The opponent attacks arguments, never identities, and never real people. It uses bad-faith tactics so you learn to see them — and the score only rewards honest rebuttal.
