When should I try to be “cool?”
Must meet 4 conditions:
1. There should be an important flaw in the topic or the opposing teams position
2. Judge should be receptive
3. The team introducing the K should have both the knowledge and research base to launch the attack
4. The attack should be understandable both in intent and structure

How to Answer the K
1. Case Outweighs: essentially, the solvency deficit outweighs the net benefit, the neg’s inability to solve the case is a reason they should lose, this includes the framework debate.
2. Link Turn: an argument that the plan solves for the link (non-uniqueness isn’t required as there is no uniqueness for the original link) or a Permutations
3. Impact Turn: an argument that the foundation of the Kritik is incorrect and that the impacts it claims are actually good

Answering the K Cont.
4. Alternative – DA to what a world of the alt looks like, solvency of alt
5. Theory: an argument that addresses the underlying theoretical implications of the Kritik and how it affects debate

b. b. The alternative is…unpredictable, vague, fluid, not written, plan-inclusive, inconsistent with the rest of their arguments, etc…
