So what exactly is this thing supposed to prove?

That Krooger is a lying sack of **** who is completely petrified at the
idea of trying his "debating trade" garbage in the real world. Do you
really need more proof of that, or did you just want Lord Atkinson to
admit he's fed up with Krooger's krapola?

Well, you see, Arny's a bit of a PITA here and his debating
style is attrocious, but the fact is, behind all of that personality
conflict with you crap is a moderate amount of actual science.

If he's forced to, he can bury you in actual statistics
and facts. The outdated but technically well done audio
card reviews are proof of that. So be careful what you
wish for - you just might get him to give a damn and
decide to school you.

I would beg to differ. Arny's a "jack of all trades...master of none." If
you
notice carefully, he gets buried in arguments with real engineers as soon as
they get into any depth in a certain subject. He knows enough to sound
knowledgeable to a newbie, but he drives the experts crazy with his
misinformation. That's when he starts employing his debating trade tricks to
try to climb out of hole he has dug for himself.

Couple that with the fact that Arny is constantly doing research on the
Internet to back himself up. Confronted with a live format with no such
resources, Arny would collapse like a house of cards. It is that reason
alone
why Arny will never debate JA in public.

Boon

Well put. Indeed he won't even do it in exchange for a payed vacation to New
York city and the hifi show. He must be absolutely terrified to turn that offer
down.
