    Scientific Argumentation

    This document discusses different types of arguments and how to have a "win-win" argument. It explains that conventional arguments typically have a winner and loser because the goal is for one side to convince the other. However, scientific arguments aim to find the truth through respectful discourse where claims are supported by evidence. The key parts of a scientific argument are presenting a claim, evidence to support it, an explanation of how the evidence relates to the claim, and a rebuttal that considers counterarguments in order to determine the best explanation based on all available evidence. This allows both sides to reach a better understanding through critically evaluating multiple perspectives.
