I mean, that’s a nice opinion and all, but yeah. Technically yes, those were debates. That one of the debaters was poorly prepared is another thing.
In a professional car race, if one of the drivers decides to hit reverse se whole time, is it fair to tell the one that plays by the rules “oh no, you don’t deserve the winner title because that wasn’t even a race”?
But were they debates? Can we really call them that?
I know that’s what the forum called for, but I saw zero debating.

If there were only two cars would it have been a race?
It was called a race, people expected to see a race, but no race took place.
It was not a race.
Yes. It would have been called a race.
Let’s give you a better example, then. A boxing match.
One of the boxers just runs around trying to touch the other contender’s butt.
He gets disqualified.
The other boxer wins the match.
What the public (including you) thinks of it is irrelevant. The judges were there and ruled who won the match per the scenario presented.
