If this interpretation of TakeOnIt is correct, I can't see the website being very useful. Pure conclusions count little or nothing for me -- it's all about the argument.
It is valuable for evaluating experts based on their ability to reach accurate conclusions. See The Correct Contrarian Cluster.
And you can, of course, follow the citation to link to the full argument.
TakeOnIt has a separate construct for specific arguments supporting a position. Look at the arguments tab on the Global Warming debate or Cryonics debate:

The arguments tab works by connecting questions together via logical implications, such that the answer to one question implies the answer to another.
In comparison, pitches are just a way to mark up quotes such that well known persuasion patterns can be identified.
