Claims don't have to be based on data. You can come to a conclusion from |
| 6 |
experience/knowledge of working/researching/studying in a particular |
| 7 |
subject, or from opinions of those who did. Or you can say that this is |
| 8 |
your idea of "common sense". Or your can say that it is derived from |
| 9 |
your imagination. |

All these claims are valid and deserve attention, but in a discussion |
| 12 |
should be clearly labelled as what they are. |

I have just given an example of what I would have considered data/fact |
| 26 |
regarding the bias claim. |
