Derived from Schrödinger's Douchebag, Schrödinger's Debater is someone who, in an argument, determine if they are trolling or serious depending on if they are winning or losing.
If winning, They will claim their argument is pure fact, and that the opponent lost to them. If losing, however, they will claim that they were simply trolling the whole time and that their opponent was stupid, and fell right into their ploy. This is usually a deflective method used by insecure assholes who wish to feel superior, even when they lose.

"I was arguing with this asshole for hours online, and when I started winning, he suddenly claimed that he had actually been trolling me the whole time. What a Schrödinger's Debater."

Get the debate students mug.A specific form of Argumentative Sophism focused on formal debate tactics—using debate rules, formats, and expectations to gain advantage rather than find truth. Debate Sophism treats every exchange as a contest to be won, using rhetorical tricks, strategic ambiguity, and procedural objections to dominate opponents. The sophist knows debate's rules and exploits them, turning what could be dialogue into performance.
"He objected to the format, then to the timing, then to the moderator. When the debate finally started, he spent his time questioning premises, not addressing arguments. Debate Sophism: using debate's procedures to avoid debate's purpose. The game was the point; truth was irrelevant."
