Got a bad aftertaste from a YouTube short, so the reflex goes here:

Assuming that the opposing side in a debate is arguing in bad faith is a method of debating in bad faith

They will criticize an oversimplified version of your view, because if they understood it as well as you do, they would agree with you. and vice versa: You are missing some information they're using foundationally.

Easier to assume they're lying to make you mad then believe a person believes what they do
