Another reason is that, usually, the deck is stacked in such venues, and
its usually far easier to spout out 10 minutes of conspiracy laden
misinformation, logical fallacies and made up BS, than it is to spend
the same 10 minutes debunking any of it. In some case, it could take 30
minutes per "issue" raised by the wacko, to explain properly. Woo wins
where there are time limits and the audience is already thinking they
should have gone down the street to watch the strippers, than sit and
listen to two people debate about the hollow earth theory of reptile
world domination. There is no way in hell those people are going to sit
through 6 hours or rebuttals, even if the hosts of the kangaroo debate
where willing to give a scientist the time to do so.
