Any idea is a unit of proof. It consists of a claim, support, and reasoning. The supporting
material is linked to the claim through reasoning. 1. Reasoning is crucial in linking support to claim;
2. reasoning is inferential and inferences may be wrong; 3. inferences are often in the form of implicit
statements; 4. speakers and listeners decide together whether inferences are sound; nothing guarantees
that inferences are correct, but tests exist to distinguish good inferences from bad.
