[speaking personally]

the problem i end up having, is how does one know there
is new information or a new argument until after that argument
is given.   the tendency is often to rephrase the argument in
new language.  but the speaker if asked, will certainly claim
it is a new argument or info.

this is where i think a procedural mechanism may be helpful.
