Debates require quick, on-the-fly thinking, which some people don't have. That doesn't mean they aren't knowledgeable on a subject though, it could just means they're poor at debates. |
That's why I said it indicates a lack of fluency. If I ask you a question about something and you just stutter and stammer and hem and haw, it doesn't necessarily mean that you don't know the answer. But odds are, you don't.
