I have no reason to be especially optimistic given these results, but I suppose there may be some fairly simple questions for which it’s possible to enumerate a complete argument in a way that flaws will be clearly apparent.
In general, it seems like single-turn debate would have to rely on an extremely careful judge, which we don’t quite have, given the time constraint. Multi-turn seems likely to be more forgiving, especially if the judge has any influence over the course of the debate.
