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.

This is fallacious as even from a purely conceptual standpoint, it makes no sense. If A implies that B is false, if A is false, that doesn’t necessarily mean B is false as well. If General Relativity is false, then it’s clause about Newtonian Gravity doesn’t mean anything as GR is false. They don’t affect each other unless one of them is true.
