Does this come off as a slothful induction?From here:
And why is it harmful to children? They don't explain.
And will they?
And add an appeal to authority here. Can he explain why there are so many homeless lgbtq youth? |

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.

These are all just claims and opinions. The only clear fallacy I see is this part:
This is a appeal to authority and perhaps an appeal to celebrity . It doesn't matter that Dr. Phil is notorious for peddling pseudoscience, the fact is that someone is an authority on a topic doesn't make them right by that fact alone, especially when what they say is against facts presented. |
