Even a machine does better with maintenance windows. Updates, memory cleanups and resets need a quiet time. For example, an agent that never stops also never gets reviewed. A day off is a natural moment for humans to check what it did. Both points lead to the same place.
Opening7.2
Many tasks, like watching prices or replying to customers, cannot pause for a day without costing someone. For example, the whole point of a dot is that it works while you sleep. A day off throws away its best feature. That is why I stand on this side.
Rebuttal6.2
The point about place sounds strong until you look closer. Many tasks, like watching prices or replying to customers, cannot pause for a day without costing someone. My opponent skipped this, which means their case has a hole in the middle.

Always on should not mean never paused. Give dots a Sunday. Remember, even a machine does better with maintenance windows. Updates, memory cleanups and resets need a quiet time. The evidence points one way, and so do I.

Humans need weekends. Dots need uptime. Remember, many tasks, like watching prices or replying to customers, cannot pause for a day without costing someone. The evidence points one way, and so do I.
