Yeah, if it's an article then it's easy to just forward the article or +1. But it's often where I hear an interesting debate on TV (like on the Bill Moyers show - I'm not sure if I can even link to that the way I could Jon Stewart). They're so articulate on that show and I'm so very not.

I often find myself just trying to articulate what the arguments were on the show, and my friends will take issue with an argument and when they do, I realize how I've mangled what was being said because I'm 100% sure that my friends wouldn't have taken issue with the argument if they'd heard what the guy saying it had actually said.

And if it's a lecture that I've attended, then I'm totally screwed because there's nothing to link to at all. :(

Ooo, that makes sense, yea. I would probably make the same mistakes... I'm not good at repeating what I've heard. I avoid doing it unless we're talking about something fairly small and unimportant... Anything of actual merit I try to link to because I know I'll leave out something, probably important. (Or just fumble my way through it awkwardly, in a way that leaves something to be desired.)

:/ Practice helps! (Maybe only so much, though.)

I've been there.

Rhetoric and debate are skills, and they're skills that many schools don't really work that hard at teaching. Trying to rephrase something in your own words sometimes means losing what made it work.

And of course, some people you talk to just won't be convinced of certain things, and make you doubt what you heard even if it made sense the first time.
