Good for James Hughes for submitting himself to the Darwinian fray - that's no easy task. Yet what can be proved in such a debate?

It's basically a Darwinian game of charisma - as oppossed to point by point analysis of specific information (which is best done online - not in front of a crowd).

Isn't it wise to have one's resources at hand instead of speaking from memory?

---------------

Who determines what is said is true? Who wins?

It's a game of playing to attributional errors.

I agree, maybe that's why he should have a laptop in front of him.
