In higher level policy debate inherency has become a non issue. The standard "stock issues" presented as planks are Topicality, Inherency, Harms, and Solvency. For the Affirmative to lose either one means the Affirmative loses Inherency. Inherency promotes strength and originality in advocacy. Policy debate ensues, of the academic and nonacademic varieties, in re-evaluating or "rescuing" Inherency. Inherency may not be established by probabilities or possibilities. In doctrinal disputes, Inherency is only a nonissue when there is organizational consensus.
