You ignored both my points: the definition of winning in a discussion (at least on this forum) as updating and a specific way of measuring it. We both lost. Tapping out.

That's all right here: I agree that it's best if people agree after the debate.

An unusual fact: I think you are one of the few Lesswrongers to use 'debate' to refer to something other than formal debates. More specifically, I think that you are using the string 'debate' to refer to what most on this forum would call arguments or discussions or disagreements.
