I would tend to agree - except possibly when it's either in a formal debate setting, or when it's with someone who's decent enough that they won't pull all the bullshit that you talked about in your OP. I personally wouldn't do a formal meatspace debate, and most of the people who I might debate otherwise aren't people who I'd particularly want to.
