A particularly ridiculous version of this is "spreading" in debate, where you speak extremely fast so that your opponent has difficulty addressing all your points.

To be fair, I remember this being a problem even when I participated in middle school debate ~20 years ago.

If you make a bunch of points that the other team doesn't refute directly, you get to nail them on it later.

Short of you speaking so quickly that even the judge didn't understand you, it was heavily encouraged to speak extremely quickly even back then.
