Judging Philosophy
CX
Judging approach: Policy Maker
Policy priority: Resolution of substantive issues is more important than communication skills
Evidence philosophy: Quantity of evidence and quality of evidence are of equal importance
Paradigm: I am a policy maker generally, but I have a love for philosophy that can be captured by the K. I rarely vote on Topicality. I flow closely.
LD
Approach: Resolution of substantive issues is more important than communication skills
Philosophy:
I like clarity of framework and clear impacts. All else is fair game.
