Norms Setting – Models: theory is a question of models of debate, so even if you prove why your abuse isn’t significant here, if we win why it’s bad for the debate space as a whole, that justifies dropping them to stop the proliferation. | Norms Setting – Models: theory is a question of models of debate, so even if you prove why your abuse isn’t significant here, if we win why it’s bad for the debate space as a whole, that justifies dropping them to stop the proliferation. | ||

Theory shells are sometimes ran in the form of [[1AR Theory#Paragraph Theory|paragraph theory]]. While functionally identical to normal theory, paragraph theory often condenses the structure of a shell into one paragraph and makes it faster to run, especially useful for the 1AR. | Theory shells are sometimes ran in the form of [[1AR Theory#Paragraph Theory|paragraph theory]].
