>Why do we use the phrase "...was arguably the...?" If it's arguably, then doesn't that mean it's to be debated? Saying "inarguably" makes more sense to me. Unless you meant it the other way.

I meant you could make a case for it, not that it was absolutely so. "Arguably" as in "you could make an argument for this."
