Is this covered anywhere?I call it appeal to conflict, where because details about a thing are in dispute, the whole thing is in dispute. (creationists love this) |

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.

" where because details about a thing are in dispute, the whole thing is in dispute."....depends on what the disputed detail(s) is I guess. But calling the "whole thing" wrong because one or so details are wrong is the fallacy of composition I think. |
