 : With the bullet point version, you can tell easily where each counter argument begins and ends. And for people confusing them with being main discontinuities, that's why they are also indented. I'll tell you what. I'll create a couple of user pages to show you the difference between the two versions using the Cold Blood page.

+::What about using numbering? There's a reason outlines (and ToCs and similar things) use that format--when things get complicated, it's much easier to find 3Dib after 3Ciia than to look for the first thing outdented two steps, with or without bullets. Although I don't know if this wiki software can do this; the # just gives you numbers, like this:
+::#This is point one
+::##This is a counter-argument to point one
+::##this is another counter-argument to point one
+::##this is a third counter-argument to point one
+::###this is a counter argument to the third counter-argument
+::#This is point two
+::##This is a counter-argument to point two
+::##this is another counter-argument to point two
+::##this is a third counter-argument to point two
+::But, even if that's not as good as a real outline, it's still better than a bullet. If I know I'm looking for top-level #2 instead of #1-#4, seeing a 2 instead of a 4 immediately tells me I'm looking in the right place. --[[User:Falcotron|Falcotron]] 02:58, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
