DIS RUBRIC · EST. 2026An integrity referee for public debates. We score how each side argued, never who won.
Corrected
Twelve recorded concessions and moments of common ground, six from each debater, were returned without their rubric values, so neither man was paid for any of them. DEALT was understated for both, and the two DIS figures with it. The transcript, the quotes and the point verdicts were unaffected throughout.
Re-scored on 14 August 2026, when the whole library was re-run on rubric v0.10, the group this debate needed to be comparable against. Every event now carries its rubric value. The pipeline that caused the fault now refuses an analysis with values missing, so it cannot recur silently. The figures on this card have since been superseded again: on 18 August 2026 the whole library was re-judged on rubric v0.11, which is what the card shows now. This note stays up because a correction that vanishes once it is convenient is worth less than one you can still check.

Partial concession: Trump's flaws Medium confidence. While defending the affirmative, Wilson concedes real shortcomings in Trump that cut against his own case, holding only that Trump remained superior to the alternative.+1.5DEALT
“he freed a lot of my friends that would have spent much of the rest of their lives in, in a federal prison... he has restored a certain level of patriotism... He's obviously secured the border. On these 3 things, I would say that Trump has done a great job.”Owen Shroyer · 1:33:13 · U-579 ▶
Concedes three Trump successes Recorded as a partial concession at high confidence. Arguing the negative, Shroyer names three concrete areas where 'Trump has done a great job' without taking them back in the same breath, giving real ground to the affirmative case.+4.5DEALT
Owen+3DEALTAndrew−5CLEANOwen−1.2CRUXAccelerationism is self-defeatingraised by Andrew · Owen half-answered it · at 9:32 ▸▸
“The idea of Owen Schreier and many other anti-Trump right-wingers is accelerationism.”Andrew Wilson · 7:32 · U-022 ▶
“The premise is not, are the Democrats a bad political party? I think that we all agree with that... I do not want Democrats to win.”Owen Shroyer · 9:36 · U-024 ▶
Common ground: Democrats a bad party Medium confidence. Shroyer names an explicit agreement with Wilson that the Democrats are a bad party and that he does not want them to win, then builds his distinct argument on top of it rather than passing over the shared ground.+3DEALT
“Now, as far as accelerationism is concerned, I don't believe I have ever publicly supported that.”Owen Shroyer · 14:04 · U-024 ▶
Strawman: attributing accelerationism to opponent Andrew Wilson Medium confidence. In his opening Wilson attributes accelerationism to Shroyer by name and argues against it; Shroyer expressly disowns the position, saying he has never publicly supported it. Resolved against the transcript, this is a rebuttal aimed at a position the opponent does not hold.−5CLEAN
“I don't believe I have ever publicly supported that... I'm not here because I want Democrats to win.”Owen Shroyer · 14:06 · U-024 ▶
Confronted part of it Shroyer disowns accelerationism and agrees he does not want Democrats to win, engaging the self-defeating-logic charge while relocating responsibility to Trump/GOP.−1.2DIS

“I do not want Democrats to win. As has already been documented in this debate, Democrats have put me in prison... So believe me, I know how dangerous The Democrats are.”Owen Shroyer · 14:26 · U-024 ▶
Confronted part of it Shroyer grants the premise that Democrats are dangerous (his own imprisonment) but distinguishes that criticizing Trump is not ceding ground. Engages without fully accepting the no-ground conclusion.−1.2DIS

“As far as the Office of Faith is concerned, it seems to be going about the same way of the Board of Peace— nothing but vanity, no real results.”Owen Shroyer · 12:52 · U-024 ▶
Confronted part of it Shroyer disputes the faith record by calling the Office of Faith vanity with no results and citing Loomer's influence, engaging the theme without addressing the specific executive-order list.−1.2DIS

“Anybody can cook these numbers.”Owen Shroyer · 1:08:50 · U-449 ▶
“No, the wages are up.”Andrew Wilson · 1:08:54 · U-450 ▶
Unfalsifiable dismissal of wage statistics Owen Shroyer Charged at medium confidence. When Wilson presses the real-wage figure, Shroyer rejects the statistic wholesale with 'Anybody can cook these numbers' rather than contesting it with a reason no evidence could survive. Mirror check: Wilson's sarcastic 'as down as they've ever been, ladies and gentlemen' is a crowd-directed echo, treated as snark outside the register; Shroyer did later offer a counter-figure (cost of living up 2.3%), noted as mitigating.−4CLEAN
“And cost of living has gone up 2.3%.”Owen Shroyer · 1:09:12 · U-453 ▶
Confronted the point Shroyer denies the wage claim outright, asserting wages are down and citing cost-of-living up 2.3%. A counter-claim that does work on the crux (the wholesale 'cook the numbers' dismissal is charged separately).2.4DIS · earned in full

“And I will give credit to this administration on securing the border. And lowering crime rates.”Owen Shroyer · 9:57 · U-024 ▶
Partial concession: border and crime High confidence. Arguing the negative, Shroyer grants Trump real ground on securing the border and lowering crime, while holding that these should be a baseline rather than a triumph. Genuine ground given without retracting the credit in the same breath.+4.5DEALT
“If Trump has a positive, it's definitely on the migration issue, but it's not perfect.”Owen Shroyer · 1:03:27 · U-401 ▶
“I want all the illegal immigrants gone, don't you? Yeah, I would say so. Okay, great.”Andrew Wilson · 1:04:58 · U-410 ▶
“That's my whole point. We would need an adjustment time.”Andrew Wilson · 1:05:12 · U-412 ▶
“So we both agree that mass deportation is a failure of the administration.”Owen Shroyer · 1:05:15 · U-413 ▶
“How is net negative migration Failure.”Andrew Wilson · 1:05:21 · U-414 ▶
False claim of agreement then argued from Owen Shroyer Wilson agreed only that removing illegal labour would require a price 'adjustment time'; Shroyer recasts that as a shared agreement that 'mass deportation is a failure of the administration' and builds on it. Wilson immediately disowns the attribution. Medium confidence.−7.5CLEAN
“I've said that that's the one success, but I just—”Owen Shroyer · 1:07:18 · U-427 ▶
Concession that migration is a Trump success Arguing the negative, Shroyer grants that migration is Trump's one success while holding that it is imperfect and incomplete. Real ground given against his own burden. Medium confidence.+4.5DEALT
“How is that still a big success?”Andrew Wilson · 1:07:20 · U-428 ▶
Interruption Wilson cuts into Shroyer's mid-sentence turn to interject. Medium confidence.−0.5TALK
“as much as both of us would like to see every single illegal immigrant deported.”Owen Shroyer · 1:07:29 · U-429 ▶
Common ground on the deportation goal Andrew Wilson Wilson names and builds on a genuine agreement that both want all illegal immigrants removed, using it as the basis of the price-adjustment argument both then accept. Medium confidence.+3DEALT
“I said, I said yes. I said that that's been a success. That's one of like, if there's 10 issues, that's one of them.”Owen Shroyer · 1:14:33 · U-504 ▶

“he was not the president when that happened. He's never won an election as president. Just thought I'd point that out.”Owen Shroyer · 12:46 · U-024 ▶
Confronted the point Shroyer rebuts the framing by noting Trump was not president when the 2024 outcome occurred and treating it as a separate issue.1.2DIS · earned in full

THE CRUX: If Trump/GOP lose the midterms, that is the ultimate proof his presidency was not successful.“I don't disagree. By continuously attacking Trump, that especially by labeling him as a pedophilic protector, which, by the way, he was almost assassinated for the other night. Right. You read the manifesto. He was almost assassinated because they were like, well, you're protecting pedophiles. You…”Andrew Wilson · the cited response · 1:31:37 · U-570 ▶ · full turn ▸
Talked around it Wilson predicts midterm losses and attributes them to the Epstein narrative, and asserts domestic success stands regardless, but never confronts the proposition that the midterm result is the ultimate measure of success. What the crux required was never addressed.−2DIS

THE CRUX: The economy is heading wrong (record debt, paycheck-to-paycheck living) so Trump cannot claim economic success.“So progressives warned us of this... In some ways, he's correct.”Andrew Wilson · 15:41 · U-031 ▶
“yeah, it is in fact going to be the case that if American companies have to start paying fair wages to American citizens, prices are going to go up.”Andrew Wilson · 16:11 · U-033 ▶
Partial concession: Trump's policies raise prices Medium confidence. Wilson grants that Shroyer is partly right that Trump's policies drive prices up, owning the tradeoff rather than disputing it, while arguing it is a worthwhile cost.+4.5DEALT
“Americans would be doing worse if real wages were at a net negative like they were under Biden... real wages have gone up 1.3%. It's a major thing.”Andrew Wilson · 1:09:04 · U-452 ▶

THE CRUX: The permanent inflation damage came from Trump's COVID-era policies, so the current bad economy is Trump's fault, not Biden's.“Okay, gotcha. So let's go through a bunch of this stuff. Let's start with the economy. He seems to be pretty upset about the economy and says that it's all Trump's fault. In some ways, he's correct. And in many ways, he's not correct. So progressives warned us of this, right? Progressives said, if…”Andrew Wilson · the cited response · 15:27 · U-031 ▶ · full turn ▸

THE CRUX: DOGE promised ~$1 trillion in annual cuts and delivered a fraction before being shut down: that is a major failure.“Trump made that promise and that's exactly what they tried to do. He's been hamstrung at every level.”Andrew Wilson · 19:36 · U-037 ▶
Confronted part of it Wilson does not dispute that DOGE delivered a fraction; he defends against the failure label by attributing it to being hamstrung. The crux allows the who-is-at-fault branch.−1.2DIS

THE CRUX: Trump called politicians treasonous but nearly two years in there are no deep-state arrests (Mayorkas, Brennan, Comey): a failure.“We're finally starting to see the fruit... with the SPLC. I'm guaranteeing you that there's going to be other organizations which are indicted for various things like this.”Andrew Wilson · 54:58 · U-336 ▶

“Owen Schreier recently said... why is it that Iran is not allowed to have a nuke, but Israel is? Are you— what are you advocating for there, that a whole country full of pedophiles is allowed to have a nuclear bomb?”Andrew Wilson · 19:16 · U-035 ▶
Recasting a consistency question as advocacy Medium confidence. Wilson quotes Shroyer asking why Iran may not have a nuclear weapon while Israel does, a double-standard question, and reframes it as Shroyer advocating that Iran obtain a nuclear bomb. Attacking the ventriloquised position rather than the question asked.−4CLEAN
“Were the were the two hundred schoolgirls pedophiles?”Owen Shroyer · 49:51 · U-284 ▶
“You want to make sure that they're alive so they can get raped? But that aside, no, of course not.”Andrew Wilson · 49:54 · U-285 ▶
Attributing a monstrous motive in place of the point Pressed on Iranian schoolgirl casualties, Wilson attributes to Shroyer a desire to keep the girls alive to be raped before answering the actual question. The motive attribution is an attack on the person rather than the point. Medium confidence.−4CLEAN
“Nobody has mentioned fighting pedophilia as part of this war. It's a regime change war for Israel to get control of the Middle East.”Owen Shroyer · 1:12:29 · U-481 ▶
Confronted part of it Shroyer denies the premise that the war is a pedophile-killing operation and gives an America-first reason, engaging the consistency challenge, though he initially evades the Sharia sub-question.−1.2DIS

“When every American has a backyard with a backyard barbecue pit and a pool, then we can go police the world.”Owen Shroyer · 1:12:56 · U-485 ▶
Subject change on the Sharia child-marriage question Nominated as a candidate for the reconciliation pass. Asked a direct yes/no on whether Sharia institutionally permits child marriage, Shroyer twice changes the subject ('barbecue pit', 'I'm not interested in Sharia') before finally answering 'Yes, Sharia is bad' at U-489. The escape precedes the eventual answer; whether it is charged depends on his overall verdict on the ledgered point.−5CLEAN

“If it's the case that there's a mass ground invasion of Iran, then yeah, I would have to pull support then because that would be a continuation of Bush forever war doctrine.”Andrew Wilson · 52:27 · U-321 ▶
Direct answer to a hard question Asked to name what would break his support for Trump, Wilson commits head-on to a falsifiable red line (a ground invasion of Iran). Medium confidence.+6DEALT
“limited strikes like what we saw in Venezuela or 6 to 8 weeks, which is what we're seeing right now, that's not enough to pull my support from this president.”Andrew Wilson · 52:36 · U-321 ▶

THE CRUX: Israel gives safe harbor to charged American/IDF pedophiles who flee there: is that relevant evidence or a red herring?“So you and I both agree that this happens and it's abhorrent.”Andrew Wilson · 26:48 · U-041 ▶
Common ground: Israeli repatriation is real and abhorrent Medium confidence. Wilson names a genuine agreement with Shroyer that Israel repatriates pedophiles and that the practice is abhorrent, building his 'red herring' argument from that shared point rather than denying it.+3DEALT
“The Catholic Church, for instance, again, part of one of the largest pedophilic scandals world. Which church do you belong to again? Is it Catholic?”Andrew Wilson · 27:50 · U-043 ▶
“I have no qualms with what you are saying about the Catholic Church whether I identify as one or not.”Owen Shroyer · 27:58 · U-044 ▶
Personal-affiliation jab (tu quoque) Andrew Wilson Medium confidence, and a borderline tu quoque. Instead of engaging Shroyer's claim about Israeli repatriation of pedophiles, Wilson turns to Shroyer's personal church affiliation to score a point; Shroyer neutralised it by agreeing to condemn Catholic abuse. Charged as attacking the person's standing rather than the argument.−4CLEAN
“the red herring portion of it is when you obfuscate away from the arguments on the Epstein front... they don't have official policy for pedophilia, dude.”Andrew Wilson · 28:20 · U-051 ▶

“Now, if Donald Trump wants to claim he has plausible deniability as far as Epstein's activities are concerned. I suppose that's fair enough.”Owen Shroyer · 30:11 · U-078 ▶
“The answer is no.”Owen Shroyer · 30:32 · U-088 ▶
Partial concession: not accusing Trump directly Medium confidence. Pressed on whether he is accusing Trump, Shroyer narrows his own case: he never claimed Trump knew about pedophilia or named him a pedophile, and grants Trump plausible deniability. A cost-bearing narrowing of the attack.+4.5DEALT
“You can see in the emails, he says, I have girls, how old do you want them? I have girls, I don't like yellow, I want Russian. It's all right there.”Owen Shroyer · 36:24 · U-153 ▶

“I didn't say Epstein wasn't a pedophile. I said you haven't given us any proof he is.”Andrew Wilson · 41:26 · U-218 ▶
Ventriloquism: 'so Epstein wasn't a pedophile, glad we got there' Owen Shroyer Medium confidence. Shroyer repeatedly puts in Wilson's mouth the sweeping claim that 'Epstein was not a pedophile,' a position Wilson expressly disowns, using the mock-summary as a rhetorical device rather than engaging what Wilson actually said (that there is no proof of a trafficking ring). Charged once as a pattern.−6CLEAN

“how about we talk about rocket pizza? Did they have babies underneath there, Owen? Did they have children in the basement, Owen?”Andrew Wilson · 42:38 · U-228 ▶
Mockery of a position in place of engagement Answering Shroyer's spirit-cooking claim, Wilson ridicules the pizzagate/pedophile-ring position by ventriloquising it rather than engaging it. Medium confidence. Mirror check: Shroyer's own sarcasm nearby (e.g. 'I'm sure the Iranians are going to be less radicalized') carries an actual argument about radicalisation rather than ventriloquising Wilson's position, so it is not charged as the same conduct.−6CLEAN
“Whether Trump was involved in anything illegal or not, I'm not convinced that he has been, but it's just a fact. Trump was in the Epstein circles.”Owen Shroyer · 1:32:39 · U-574 ▶
Concedes no conviction that Trump acted illegally Recorded as a partial concession at medium confidence.

THE CRUX: Howard Lutnick lied about not visiting Epstein's island after conviction and remains in the administration: that implicates Trump's judgment.“Are you saying this guy took his kids to the island to get them raped?”Andrew Wilson · 31:43 · U-093 ▶
“I don't know what he took his kids to the island for.”Owen Shroyer · 31:46 · U-094 ▶
Ventriloquism of opponent's position Andrew Wilson Medium confidence. Shroyer's claim was that Lutnick lied about visiting the island after Epstein's conviction; Wilson recasts it into the far more extreme proposition that Lutnick took his children there 'to get them raped,' a position Shroyer immediately disowns. The rebuttal engages a caricature rather than the stated point.−4CLEAN
Acknowledged uncertainty Medium confidence. A rhetorically stronger, more damning answer was available, but Shroyer declines to speculate about Lutnick's motive and says plainly that he does not know.+2DEALT
