3. Kills Ground
a) Time and strat skew – they can steal all the offense from the 1NC by simply proposing that we
listen to some random country’s opinion.
b) Not functionally competitive – The neg can’t produce evidence that <<insert actor>> would
have specific modifications to our plan. Instead, they rely on moving-target fiat to fill in
solvency, links, and uniqueness, which are all core tests of competitiveness. That’s an
independent voter for fairness.
