Vauge generalities:
as the book states there are mny ways we talk about all or a part of a collection without specifying a specific number.
These are some key words of vauge generalities:
>all
>almost
>many
>most
>a lot of
>some
>a few
>very few
most of these words are too vauge to figure in valid rguments.
Example:
I was arguing with a friend of why they should not drink and drive. They told me its really not a big deal because they know there limit. I then told them its dangerouse because if they drink and drive it could be fatal, even if its only a few drinks. Then i asked them, "So how many drinks did you have?" they replied "Um I dont know, a few." Later that night they got into a car accident.
This is too vauge because to some people a few may be two but to another it may be 5.
This was helpful because it showed me that when making a claim I need to be very specific and avoid thses words.
