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.

When the phrase "everybody knows' is used as a literary device, it should not be considered a fallacy. In the case of Leonard's song, "Everybody knows" the phrase is used to emphasize a widespread belief or understanding about societal issues and convey a sense of resignation or acceptance of the status quo. As a literary device, it serves a specific purpose and should not be evaluated as a factual claim |
