A strong debater will be less likely to understand insights in dimensions they don't see.

A strong debater is good at thinking on their feet.

They can run circles around conversants and win an argument, even if they "shouldn't."

A common pattern: the other person is engaging on a dimension the debater doesn't see.

The debater (and anyone watching the debate) erroneously concludes that the debater won.

The other person will look dismissive but that's the only way to not get steam rolled by the debater.

Perhaps the other person can do deep thinking, but only in writing, not on the spot.

Both sides are sending insights the other isn't receiving

Trust: Seek to understand by assuming the other party is correct.
