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 a good one, and I need to do a little research to see if this already exists. I would say this is a "gaps" fallacy. We all know the common "God of the gaps," but in practice, people fill that metaphorical gap with any ideology or strong belief. We can also say this is jumping to conclusions . |
