I see… it’s a politeness trap. Shut them up by putting them in a position where there’s no valid comeback that doesn’t sound like an outright insult. What does the fact that you tried this say about you?
The closest thing to this approach in a real debate probably occurred during William F. Buckley’s 1965 campaign for mayor of New York City. He once declined to use his rebuttal time, saying, “I am satisfied to sit back and contemplate my own former eloquence.”
