I think the game is to make the other guy think, by respectfully and
intelligently criticising their position (if they go first). Although
- is Sean Pitman the "stone cube on Mars" guy? - he doesn't quite do
that for me.

I don't think so. Sean Pitman is the "mutations have to take
place one nucleotide at a time" no matter what the actual lab
evidence actually says. And of course given his hypothesis
he can correctly show that evolution can't really occur in any
reasonable time. Of course his hypothesis is wrong, but pointing
that out to him is like praying for rain in the desert, and less
successful.
