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.

So...one person suggested they could have died from disease, and another says they couldn't have been hit by a bus...? Where's the fallacy? It's just people speculating on how a young person passed away. If it's implied they either died from disease or were killed by a motor vehicle, this would be a dilemma (either true or false). |

There are no arguments here, but question, to which no complete answer has been given. The car, of course, can be other colors, red, blue, gray... |
