In
forensics, the
practice of cramming as much
information into your speech as possible, by speaking as rapidly as you can. Typically done in
policy debate. Speaking in a
monotone, being "lazy" with your
articulation, and speaking in your
head voice (in a slightly higher
pitch than your normal
register) can assist you in speaking faster.
The practice of spreading is not about communication, discourse, or policy analysis. It is about competition, specifically, about winning, thanks to debate judges who decide rounds based on sheer amount of evidence instead of rhetorical persuasion.
