It's so tempting to give a trite "now you're asking the real questions" type answer, but I think it is possible if you become familiar with the kinds of rhetoric debaters use and evaluate how that lines up with the known facts of an issue. It is cognitively taxing to do, and for what it's worth I'm not great at it.

The problem is that most members of an audience are not familiar with that rhetoric, and end up believing whichever debater is better at executing it.
