"…we have now sunk to a depth where the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men." -- George Orwell, Review of Power: A New Social Analysis by Bertrand Russell in Adelphi (January 1939) There is an implicit conceit in opening with this particular Orwell quote, and it is that I am among the category of intelligent men. I will readily admit that this is not a settled question, and that in fact I often find myself asking just how it is that I can be so daft as to not recognize the “strategic” value of certain arguments debaters seem utterly determined to make.
