    I used a speech-to-text engine and then I corrected the handful of little mistakes in it. (I might record the next one in my make-believe American accent). Here is the transcription:

    So you say that the debate should be about everybody dispensing their views, opinions, findings in the center of the room, rather than it being a case of constantly trying to come up with a rebuttal or a counter-argument to what somebody else says if you do not agree with what they say... Emm... I think -- and this is for any person that's partaking in the debate or whatever discussion -- is that if a person thinks that they are right and, not only that, if they've considered the other people's arguments and taken into account their own personal past experience, if they judge... if they think that the other person's arguments are inaccurate, are incorrect or wrong, then I think that's when people just say. . . they just try to argue their point more, and say look this is what I believe and this is why I think it's right, I don't believe what you're saying, I don't think what you're saying is right, I mean I know there are some very, I suppose, enlightening situations or enlightening discussions where, y'know, you could get four different insightful opinions which are laid in the middle of the room ... I'm not saying that that doesn't happen but, I dunno, some discussions some debates, if a person thinks that they're right and if the other people in the room aren't convincing them of otherwise, then I suppose it's just... the person continues to argue their point more elaborately, more strongly, and tries to pick apart, tries to dismantle the other arguments that are being put forward in the room -- which I think is just healthy human debate. That's, y'know, I think that's how discussions, debates, happen and I don't think there's anything wrong with having a sharp rebuttal really trying to pick small pieces out of another person's argument or viewpoint or... yeah... so... one second, ah look I might record another one
