not Socratrees and Kialo both decompose arguments into nested hierarchies of supporting and opposing claims

| I edited your two very similar statements into this one statement. I feel this captures both the 'claim' and 'counterclaim' statement you added and the hierarchical nature of the platform (I agree both platforms are the same in this regard). Note that I did not use the word 'counterclaim' since this refers to rebutting a previous claim; an opposing statement (or claim) does not 'rebut' a supporting statement. I feel that only by 'going down' the hierarchy you could truly speak of 'rebutting'. – Whathecode Aug 5, 2018 14:09 |
