Refugees+Neg+-+Topicality

[definition will change depending on the version]

B. Violation - the plan gives aid for the purposes of the public health but doesn’t actually give public health assistance. They are only effectually topical.

C. Standards 1. Limits - everything is an internal link to health - avoiding war, stopping carbon emissions, and lowering cholesterol are all critical to health. But a topical plan must directly to increase public health assistance. Limiting the topic to just public health assistance is key to limits because otherwise any assistance would be justifiable. Instead of just pharmaceuticals and humanitarian organizations, the neg would have to research Haliburton, Green Peace, and Lipitor. 2. Predictability - predictable ground is the only valuable ground. Allowing any forms of assistance opens the flood gates and explodes neg research burden. This destroys clash and education. Depth is better than breadth. 3. Mixing burdens - To prove they increase public health assistance, the Aff must win that providing infrastructural aid solves public health problems. you have to look to their solvency mechanism to determine if they are topical. This destroys the a priori nature of debate and thus kills fairness.

D. Topicality is a voter for fairness and competing interpretations.
