Historian Death Match: Jon Butler vs Harry Stout

Liberal vs Conservative, Calvinist vs Arminian, Christian vs Muslim....
It seems that one thing that has always been the case is humans capacities to put complex situations into binaries. Butler claims that Harry Stout is dead wrong and that he overemphasizes several key things that his argument cannot hold up without. Frank Lambert agrees with Butler and further advances his argument. Assuredly there are those who cling to Stout and others who would find his work useful to propagate their own histories. Surely there is a middle ground. Butler makes a strong case for not only how the Great Awakening was not Great, but how it is not a neat and tidy portion of our nation's history. This comes as hardly surprising, for nothing is ever as simple as we want to make it out to be. However, not all of what Stout says can simply be thrown out. I propose a middle ground where both historian's research combine to make a hell of a lot of sense. While the rhetoric of the revivals did not have a direct influence on the revolution as far is its content is concerned, the rhetorical style of revivals certainly had an impact.
If the common revolutionary had as little training and education as Stout seems to suppose, then they would not be versed in the rhetorical style of Cicero or other Classical Orators. However, the learned men of the revivals did have such training and used it to their advantage. Given that in many of the colonies where the revolution began did have at least some major revivals in the years leading up to the revolution, the proponents of revolutionary sentiment had a good chance of seeing such rhetorical stylings in action. Seeing the affect on the crowds would make an impact on someone, either young or old.
If we take Butler's argument as a decisive winner between the two, which I am inclined to do, but dumb down Stout to this one point, I think one gets a window into where some revolutionary rhetorical styling had its root. Not in the classroom at Oxford or Yale, but in the backwoods revivals of the "Great Awakening."
I know that isn't a question, but does that seem plausible?
