Sam Harris and the Myth of Perfectly Rational Thought

[Major Nikon]

23. I read the entire transcript

Klein by his own admission didn't write or even edit the original Vox article and right away he distances himself from the comments made. Harris point out correctly that some of what was in the original article that he complained about was retracted with an apology. Klein criticizes Murray and Harris distances himself from Murray's conclusions and both either agreed or didn't disagree that there were no errors in the data Murray presented. So right away you don't have much in the way of contradiction and they agreed with each other on pretty much all pertinent points. So it was far more of a discussion than a debate, so I'm just curious as to how one decides who "won" the debate other than picking out which one you like better than the other.
