That’s not the WHY. Debate isn’t trying to be like politics, but having formalized competitive rules for arguing is pretty difficult so there are a lot of ways to game the system. It’s not trying to model a broken world.

Can we get this information in any reasonable format? Preferably paragraphs of text, second to that an audio file, third to that a video player that actually works?
“why did my rent go up by 400 dollars?” “Because my favorite bagel spot raised prices by a dollar”
No, that would harm whoever was in possession of the room at the time (owner or guest).
This would be more akin to sneaking into a movie theatre to stand in the back and watch.
But that would still be theft of service.
While I appreciate the sentiment, theft of service is a crime. You don’t have to be able to own something to be able to steal it.
There are no quote posts. You can paste a link to the other person’s post, but it is discouraged because we know where that leads.
“We” don’t. Please elaborate.
What’s an “official” political debate? The government runs no such thing.
Also in general, many debates on TV are jest talking, no winner is declared. It’s the opposite of a competitive format.
