arguments that support these opinions; breaking down these arguments and finding any additional implications within them; and examining both the statements and any additional implications for contradictions (Critical thinking: meaning,
2007). The process then continues as the person evaluating the matter finds any opposing claims "between the various arguments" and assigns "relative weights" to them; increases the weight "when the
claims have strong support" especially if they are the result of "distinct chains of reasoning" or come from different sources; the evaluator decreases the weight when the claims are contradictory;
adjusts "weighting depending on relevance of information to central issue"; if any claims are "incredible," the person requires additional support on their behalf or discards them (Critical thinking: meaning, 2007).
