But you see that a tool who makes it easy to snippet on some argument is maybe more suboptimal than other. It's not about using the perfect tool but using one which is better. Ones that sets 'loud'  people at a disadvantage. And it's not only the tool,  it's the culture too. A culture which is appreciating new arguments and not loves to repeat arguments again and again, especially to hide some private agenda. If an argumentation is more about individual agendas and less about the common good it is doomed.  Especially if people try to sell the first as last. The tool should help to make that transparent but it is only one building stone.
