In debates, whether it's for religious, social, or political issues, I notice that why is it everytime when someone loses their cool in a debate or begins a debate by insulting their analytical opponents with buzzwords or namecalling, that they usually lose a debate the hardest or don't debate well at all? Why is it that I hear that it's still possible for people to lose an argument or debate even if the truth is on their side? Take my analogy for example like a boxing match (think Ip-Man's fight against the main villain Twister in IP-Man 2) where my theory is that the one who gets angry and insulting or condescending against the other as well as being brutish in their tactics seems to be the ones that lose in the end and that the one who is more calm, focused, subtle, disciplined, humble, polite, civil, etc. tend to seem like more strategic and professional fighters that win after a hard battle? Pop culture references aside, my point is why is it when one side starts a debate with insults and ad hominem's the ones that lose a debate?
