    Il est possible de maintenir une conscience du corps intérieur ou une sensation de présence en arrière-plan tout en étant pleinement engagé dans des interactions numériques ou sociales complexes.

    False : le verdict est en faveur de la négation, car l'engagement cognitif profond sature les ressources attentionnelles et exécutives. La capacité de récupérer une sensation corporelle après coup ne prouve pas le maintien d'une conscience…

    For a hydraulic services company, making climate adaptation part of every tender is a competitive advantage rather than a net cost.

    False: the winning side demonstrated that making climate adaptation part of every tender is a net cost to a hydraulic services company, not a competitive advantage. The core flaw in the affirmative case is the missing transfer operator: li…

    La victoire de Lula au second tour de l'élection présidentielle brésilienne d'octobre 2026 sera un sursaut de la démocratie, et non un simple vote de rejet de l'extrême droite

    False : la victoire de Lula en 2026 doit être comprise comme un vote de rejet de l'extrême droite plutôt que comme un sursaut démocratique affirmatif. L'inéligibilité de Bolsonaro ne neutralise pas l'idéologie qu'il incarne, qui se déplace…

    A credit score of 460 justifies a 59.2% annual percentage rate on a $12,000 personal loan.

    False: the negative side argued that the evidence cited by the affirmative does not justify a 59.2% APR on a $12,000 loan for a borrower with a 460 credit score. The affirmative only pointed to a broad range of 30.0% to 175.0% for low-cred…
