Debate is a good if you all have a shared idea of what constitutes 'good'. IE, simplicity, performance, whatever.

I had a engineering lead who encouraged 'debate everything', but had the idea that 'good' meant 'his idea'.

every new hire under him lasted about 8 months, then were burnt out and stopped being active in debate

I’ve worked (burned out) under this. Eventually I realized that “debate everything” just meant the boss really loved to debate, because he could always “win.”
I'm thinking about forming a support group
