Claims are constantly being made, many of which are confusing, ambiguous, too general to be of value, exaggerated, unfalsifiable, and suggest a dichotomy when no such dichotomy exists. Good critical thinking requires a thorough understanding of the claim before attempting to determine its veracity. Good communication requires the ability to make clear, precise, explicit claims, or “strong” claims. The rules of reason in this book provide the framework for obtaining this understanding and ability.
This book / online course is about the the eleven rules of reason for making and evaluating claims. Each covered in detail in the book.

Walk Chuck through what he claimed like he were a child. "If I am understanding you correctly, Chuck, you are suggesting that 'fluffiness' is a quality that makes something not dangerous? Is that correct?" "Are fluffy bears dangerous to their prey? How come the fluffiness does not protect the other mammals they eat?" If this line of inquiry gets you nowhere, consider that you are either dealing with a person with a mental disability or you are being trolled. |

You can't argue and win. That is what cognitive dissonance and backfire are all about. Instead, use the Peter Boghassian method. Bo is on the right track. |
