Selective ApplicationHi! I have a question. I found some people selectively apply principles e.g. of human rights. When they don't like someone, they apply principles to criticize that person. They do not do so when person they like do a similar thing. Is this a fallacy? Thank you very much.

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.
