arguments can be reasoned with, giving rise to addi-
tional strategies.
Finally, indirect crowdsourcing approaches, such
as the use of Games With A Purpose (Rodosthenous
and Michael, 2016), could be used to evaluate exist-
ing, or even acquire novel, arguments instead of ap-
pealing to paid crowdsourcing (Habernal et al., 2017).
