Except the policy debates that actually come up in real life are not drawn uniformly from the space of all policy debates. The one-sided issues are typically not worth mentioning, simply because they are one-sided.

Exactly. Another way to put it would be - policy debates should not appear one-sided, so long as you do not consider all proposals about policy to constitute policy debates.
