There might be a potential for confusion in labeling.
What if whom you consider a debunker is simply someone genuinely interested in the subject with valid reasons to be critical?
What if your ideology is debunkable by sincere seeking that had consideration for the values involved in this ideology?
Edit : A good example : My spiritual path started in Christianity because it was the gateway to what I had known in term of spiritual seeking. Why I am not a Christian anymore is because I've debunked it, but only after having resonated with aspects of truth from within this teaching.
I agree that labeling is not only confusing, but destructive in that it separates, which ironically is what debunkers do.
What I meant by debunkers, specifically, are those individuals who spend their energy on tearing down, destroying, rather than creating. That is why I find them uninteresting—because they aren't coming up with anything on their own but rather they are simply shooting down what is already out there.
There is another way of teaching I have heard Tobias Lars talk about:
Positive wisdom: Adding and piling on concepts to the truth of what we are
Negative wisdom: Removing concepts to the truth of what we are
