Help"Every stone in the wall Donald Trump has promised to build on the U.S.-Mexico border will cost only $20 to install. Therefore, all of the stonework in the wall only cost $20 to install."
Do you guys think this is composition or amphiboly? |

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.

It should say each stone and then it would be more clear that the cost refers to the singular stone, but even with every it still refers to every instance of a stone and not the total. Not sure if there's a fallacy.
