I have a quick stylistic request.  Can we please avoid using words like "obliterated" or "destroyed" or "crushed" or other violent term when we are discussing ideas.  The goal of a discussion is to persuade, not to destroy, and it has been a pet peeve of mine in social media to see such titles as "watch so-and-so destroy so-and-so", where typically each so-and-so represents a different political party.  Seeking to "obliterate" your opponent, even if it is rhetorically, is just going to further political polarization, as it makes discussion of ideas a matter of existential survival.
