Number 8 made me wonder if this was satire.

I may be misunderstanding this but the longer description didn't settle much in my mind. This is one of the worst things about online battles.
"A: GMOs are BAD!"
"B: GMOs aren't bad. They are very helpful and most crops grown today are GMO in one way or another."
"A: Nuh uh Monsanto blah"
I would call that an argument lost for A. The idiot just proved they have no supporting evidence for their initial statement except a different subject.
