How this is made
- 1Steelman
The strongest case a serious holder of each side would actually defend — not a strawman, not a summary.
- 2Red-team
An independent adversarial pass attacks every argument — two or three targeted counters each.
- 3Verify
Load-bearing sources spot-checked on the open web for existence and rough fit (Pass-1).
Columns are never padded —
where a side runs out of strong arguments, the column says so and ends.
A single model family generated everything, so shared training bias is not caught. Framing-fidelity of sources (Pass-2) is not independently verified. There is no human review layer yet.
