Dialogue -- debate in general -- means nothing without conflict; and conflict is drama. You might call it histrionics, if you wish, but you've demonstrrated a good point -- nothing conveys meaning better than a dramatic plot tucked within words.

Meaning, or entertainment? Dialectic... debate?
Then why the dialectic dissembling?

The dialectic, unspun, is what Communists and Christians use to convince themselves that right is wrong, that Christ is God, that black is white, that reason can be avoided without impunity, that heaven exists, etc ...

Nice try; you get no cookie.
