Still, I think there’s something to the idea that if there is a genuine debate about some claim that lasts a long time, then there might well be some truth on either side. So perhaps Russell was wrong to universally quantify over “debates” (as your counterexamples might show), but I think there is something to the claim.
Ah I see now. Glad we cleared that up.
