No, there have not been a lot of OTCs failing of 2/3rd. You're missing the point: We look like a bunch of callous old pharts who won't let people even have a chance to make their initial point.
Picking the speakers is trivially easy: The person who makes the motion to PI is giving preference in debate anyway. The logical person to be given the opportunity to rebut the argument is the maker of the motion being killed. With only four minutes of debate, there's not going to be much back and forth.
