Today I did a google search for "debate map", and this was the very first result:

http://debategraph.org/

This... is exactly what we're looking for, isn't it?

Though it still doesn't actually do anything with numbers.

I still haven't gotten around to continuing my own project for a debate tool that actually does calculations involving probabilities, though it has finally risen to the top of my to-do list. I was planning to get back to work on it last weekend, but ended up getting distracted by other things again.

As I recall, this was among the tools I tried and quickly dismissed for reasons that had to do with usability, or anyway didn't make me want to invest further time in. Did you give it a try? Curious what came out of that if you did.

I didn't try creating any new graphs with this tool, I just clicked around a couple of existing graphs for a couple minutes, then said "hey, this is pretty cool, I'm going to post to LW about it now". I did a quick check of the debate tools wiki page, and didn't find it in the list, so I added it to the list.
