Dumb FrameworkAff: the Neg can only read a CP or advocate the status quoNeg: the judge should only listen to kritiks!

Why is this dumb?• No “best type” of argument

•Aff is whiny

•Is necessarily not “real world”

Smart framework!!Interpretation of knowledge vs interpretation of arguments

Smart framework examplesOnly evaluate impacts that have been justified[read cards why marxism is a way to justify impacts]

More Smart FrameworkAff: Only evaluate impacts that are justified[read cards about why social science is the best]

Framework Cheating!Allows you to not answer arguments on the aff and the neg and orBeat people JUST on framework
