Ask a Female Engineer: Thoughts on the Google Memo

Adversarial debate is worse than discussion for reasons that these interviewees said:

>The discussion around this has followed the trajectory of most of the polarizing mass discussion in the last few years; everyone comes out the other side with their opinions more calcified than ever, and more convinced than before of the intractability of the other side.

Damore wasn't walking into this ready to discuss and/or learn, he wanted to blast his opinion internally with no intention of attempting to change it.

What you have posted is a claim. It needs a warrant.

I've reiterated what the person said in the article. If your burden of proof is word semantics, then do I really need to elaborate to you more on the definitions of debate vs discussion?

You are justifying your claim with a quote that is devoid of warrants.

What disqualifies it as being warranted? It's from the article for this thread.
