Heres the Graph

More Notes!!

Backing-Provides additional justification for the warrant especially if it might be viewed as questionable? It also provides evidence in the form of questions-- to support the type of reasoning employed
example
Claim- You should use a hearing aid.
Grounds-You've been having more trouble hearing lately, and over 70% of people over the age of 65 have hearing difficulty.
Warrant-Many hearing aid user say it helps them to hear better.(generalization)
Backing- Hearing aids are conveniently avaiable( another generalization, but from a different angle)

The Qualifier
-
Arguments are not expected to demonstrate certainties! they can usually only establish probabilities.
