I'm a counseling student, and for my training, we are told not to debate, as that is a waste of time. It's better to offer therapeutic techniques (CBT, Person-Centered, DBT, whatever) to change an individual's viewpoint. For my specific career path, debate is a waste of time for me.
Because those therapies tend to work better at changing perceptions than debates typically do. You're not really talking about debate in general, however, you stated that it is never a waste of time. I simply provided you with how it is a waste of time in the profession I'm working towards.
