  abstract  = {Argumentation quality is viewed differently in argumentation theory and in
	practical assessment approaches. This paper studies to what extent the views
	match empirically. We find that most observations on quality phrased
	spontaneously are in fact adequately represented by theory. Even more, relative
	comparisons of arguments in practice correlate with absolute quality ratings
	based on theory. Our results clarify how the two views can learn from each
	other.},
