You can refrain from arguments, and still maintain a good discussion for others to see a bigger picture from the topic on the debate. Even though it's a debate, it might open people's minds to thinking differently about certain aspects of the debate topic at hand.
Arguments, for me would be making illogical statements towards another person based on emotional distress. Arguments only ever begin when someone gets frustrated really.
Debates, are only discussions really. Because even though someone may win a debate, most of the time, based on the topic, there is still a discussion to be made. It's based on how effectively you can support your own theories and statements, to make them seem like fact. Scientists have to do it all the time when they come up with new ideas because society is unwilling to change. Take Gallileo and the debate between believing in the geocentric model of the galaxy and the heliocentric model.
