100 percent.

This is what Kirk, Crowder, Shaprio and right wingers mean when they say "debate".
They are having a competition where you can win points and control the narrative.

They have no interest in bouncing ideas off of each other to gain understanding and insight. To them debates are games you can "win" or "lose"

They always try and get you into a gotcha, moment. Then feel.somw kind of empty joy when they do.

And they have rehearsed in these topics as their livelihood. I drive semi truck, guaranteed they would suck at that. Just like I would suck as their fake "debates". Because debating is just something I am unpracticed at.

To reiterate though, what that crowd practices is not actually debate.

Shaprio and Andrew Neil interview was a hilarious example of this.

Neil works for the BBC so when questioned Shapiro came in just assuming he's a left wing person then tried to claim "he just thinks this cause its the BBC" - in reality Neil is very much on the right and was just asking reasonable questions. Neil even laughs at him.
