I found Cohen's tactics for argument instructive.
He spent as much time as necessary shaping the premise. That once accomplished, he simply rode the logic to his pro Marxist, pro Russia conclusion. Once he won the battle of the premise, he was a formidable debater.

Cohen also often used his formidable knowledge of Russia to divert attention from inconvenient facts and issues, often with an air of academic superiority.
“he simply rode the logic to his pro Marxist...”
Without relecting on the deathtoll...
