Understatement of the century. How on earth can you expect to have "nuanced debate" with only 140 characters?

Plus the fact that the 140 characters are done from a soapbox with possibly tens of thousands of people ready to pounce on it.

This is like complaining that our mouths can only make 1 word sound at a time.

How can you have a nuanced debate with a serial device? It just won't work.
