The Format
The way AGORA works is that the author speaks for only a few minutes only about the
context of the paper. The good cop then speaks for a few minutes to present the key
argument and some good points. The bad cop then brings in criticisms, acting as the
peer reviewer we all dread. Then it’s time for open discussion.
