What reading level is How to Debate book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A debater, for instance, is often tempted to "doctor" evidence, as in the statement of statistics or the quotation from an authority in such a manner as to make them appear to prove something quite different from what they really prove. Not that one should argue the other side of the case — cleave that for the opponent. It is neither necessary nor proper in debating, any more than in other things in Ufe, always to disclose the whole truth; but the point is, when anything is told, it should be t...he truth. And he who attempts to gain an unfair ad- vantage by violating this principle most usually 242 HOW TO DEBATE only cheats himself, for let a single such case be pointed out by an opponent, and the audience at once becomes suspicious that "he who is false in one is false in all." Again, whenever you have occasion to restate an argument of your opponent, state it fairly. In this respect the amateur in de- bate needs specially to watch himself. In the first place, it is foolish to say that your opponent said so and so when the hearers know better.
