looks like a pretty big topic.

Its really not 100%. In fact several big schools are straight policy and most at large teams are proficient in front of either K panels or policy panels. There are at least as many at large teams that prefer policy to K debates.

The big schools have the numbers and support to have massive case debates. When your research budget towers over most squads entire budget you have five people independently working on each subbranch of the topic. Everyone else is limited by their need to sleep - so they cut generic cplans and Ks and cringe when they hear that their opponents are NU GM.

Any way, if the last two years are any indication, many parli squads will be using knowledge of this topic to their advantage in parli. Best to prepare.
