The idea of a 'Byzantine debate' does not represent a situation that has repeated itself many times in history. The phrase comes from the Eastern Roman Empire, where the royal court was full of endless debates about theology. What is interesting is that even when Sultan Mehmed II (Mohammed Al-Fatiha) was besieging Constantinople, the debates continued, despite the critical situation.
This is why the phrase "Byzantine debate" became famous. It describes a kind of religious argument that never ends. Even today, many societies still live similarly. In my opinion, this kind of endless debate is a form of escaping reality.
