So I'm guessing that in order to 'win' against a snuck premise you would have to say "we're not talking about X, you shifted the topic, we're talking about Y." It seems like you'd have to be a very seasoned debater to think fast enough to call them out. And yeah, I do see that a lot on here, and people get wrapped up pretty hard on the shifting.


You either do that or defeat the snuck premise.
Shifting the debate isn't an auto-win, it however could be that you are less prepared to argue the new idea and they have well prepared.
In general, you should be able to know what a debate will evolve into. The example of planned parenthood, it is elementary to know someone might try to bring up killing babies. If that catches you off guard, you haven't done your homework.
