This coarse would packed full of information that we have gone over, but the one thing I felt that should be further discussed would be misleading claims with numbers. When doing test 4 this came up and I was like “huh,” I was not sure what it meant at first, but good thing its open book, so I looked it up and it made more sense to me. Numbers can be in fact misleading when dealing with claims because when numbers are used it looks exact, but a vague or meaningless comparison gets no better by having a few numbers in it. So it does not matter if there are numbers. It may look exact and accurate, but do not let that deceive you because it is not always true. Numbers do not mean it is exact, they can be extremely misleading. Having numbers in a claim may make it seem important, but when looking deep into the claim itself, you can see that that is not always true.
