This makes me very happy. One of my main reasons for writing this is as a former researcher of misinformation I found that a lot of work in it was hitting these definitional and descriptive problems, with researchers often unaware there were existing rich models from rhetoric on which to draw.

I just yelled to my partner, "I made Mike Caulfield happy!" This has been a rough week, I really appreciate this.

So I'm writing a series of these, and I hope it doesn't get too boring, but the idea is to use a variety of examples to show how argument models can help ground definition, categorization, and description in ways helpful to higher order work.
