1. You literally give the NC ground for infinite abuse- outweighs because they can read all the abusive strategies but 1AR theory is only finite abuse. 2. 1AR theory is key to checking timeskew- they can layer the NC so it’s impossible for me to respond substantively- if they do so abusively theory is my only way to win back the debate in the super short 1AR 3. 1AR theory is key to education- otherwise I have to read all my interps in the AC which kills substantive education because it takes up too much time for interps you probably won’t violate. Counterinterps Counter-interp- only vote on 1AR theory if it checks structural abuse- if the NC gives itself more roads to the ballot then my only recourse is theory- there’s no way the 1AR can cover it all. Solves back abuse- you can always make up substantive abuse but structural abuse is non- falsifiable. Counter-interp- only vote on 1AR theory if the interp was in the AC- solves back abuse because they could have answered the interps and standards in the NC. If you reject AC theory that means there can’t be any theory in the round- there’s no earlier speeches. Counter-interp- only vote on 1AR theory if the interp is <insert interp>. Solves back friv theory- if I’m winning the shell it proves there’s actual abuse. <add reasons to prefer>
Read A shell Uh Oh you dropped evaluate the theory debate after the 1ar. Means I auto win round.

- Extend the structural fairness argument which
means you automatically vote aff as I have proved the resolution to be true, and proved that voting aff is key to structural fairness. - Extend the framing apriori meaning that the apriori comes first in the round before FW. Vote aff on cruel optimsm and inescapable conditions.
