Now, THAT'S a great post! This is debate!!! You make very good points -- I wish the dicusssion were like this 20 pages ago.
You:
1) actually identify an argument (three premises to support a conclusion)
2) counter each premise (note the premises don't have to be established facts!!!)
3) arrive at reasonable conclusion
I don't know what to tell you, but this is essentially what people have been saying since you made your original statement. I don't know why the light bulb suddenly went on for you. :doh
