Performative Contradictions (Perfcon)
- Overview
- Examples
Perfcon Bad (Affirmative)
Perfcon Good (Negative)
We can have [___] performative contradictions. Perfcon is good -
- Neg Flex - negs test the aff from multiple angles, but policy args always potentially link to Ks – they arbitrarily limit negs to all policy or all K which encourages one off Ks that ignore the aff and and killing core neg ground
- No offense - tension between args is inev bc aff authors disagree with each other - if the K and DA do contradict, they should’ve conceded the double turn - don’t punish us for them not making the right arg
No link – its not perfcon and they link more – [___]
Reject the arg, not the team
