Well no, we can have some form of mediator institution which arbitrates such debates peacefully. You could also setup a ritualised debate implicitly agreed to by both parties so you could do this without an EPA - this is essentially how humans did things before we invented rationalised nation states.

You should avoid silly personal attacks, you might get better responses from people.

What do you suggest as the alternative? I'm genuinely curious.
