Freeley and Steinberg 9 Austin J. Freeley, former prof. of communication, John Carroll Univ, and David L. Steinberg, prof of communication, Univ of Miami, Argumentation and Debate: Critical Thinking for Reasoned Decision Making, 2009, 12th edition, pp 68-9 googlebooks
Most propositions on matters of policy contain the word "should" – for example, "Resolved: That such-and-such should be done." In a debate on a policy proposition, "should" means that intelligent self-interest, social welfare, or national interest prompts this action, and that it is both desirable and workable. When the affirmative claims a policy "should" be adopted, it must show that the policy is practical – but it is under no obligation to show it will be adopted. The affirmative must give enough detail to show it would work. It may be impossible, within the time limitations of the debate, for the affirmative to give al the details, but it must at least show the outline of its policy and indicate how the details could be worked out. For example, in a debate on federal aid to education, the affirmative could not reasonably be expected to indicate how much money each state would receive under its plan, but it would be obliged to indicate the method by which the amount of the grants would be determined. It is pointless for the negative to seek to show that the affirmative's plan could not be adopted by demonstrating that public opinion is against it or that the supporters of the plan lack sufficient voting strength in Congress.
