Sample statement
∴ sample statement is true
Analogies
(Analogies do not count as the evidence itself; they are simply there to help one understand the argument)
Important Works that Defend this Position
(Please cite in full author, Chicago-style bibliography format)
Counter-arguments
It is not that sample statement
(Counter-arguments are always the statement itself preceeded by “It is not that”)
(Important: counter-arguments do not refute any of the premises or the logic of the argument itself. Instead, they present a completely different argument which, if true, means that the statement here must be false (regardless of the arguments). In philosophy, this is called a Modus Tollens.)
Talk
Like the talk page of a Wiki article, this is a section not to debate the statement, but to discuss ways of improving the page. It may also be used to discuss whether the analogies appropriately or helpfully/unhelpfully reflect the statement and ways they can be improved.
