Answer 8

Verifying source information has nothing to do with critical thinking. Why do you call it jumping the gun ? @jim_thompson5910
This question can be posted in mathematics or in any group where logic does matter. @Broskishelleh

Answer 9

@ShailKumar That is not true

Answer 10

You answered too quickly and you gave the wrong answer. Not only against OpenStudy's policy, but also foolish to do. You didn't help the person learn at all and you aren't helping them by giving the wrong answer.

Questioning the source and verifying source information has everything to do with critical thinking. That's what makes the foundation of science and logic so strong. So this question actually fits in this group quite nicely. Sure it probably belongs in English more, but that really doesn't matter to me.

Answer 11

@jim_thompson5910 What is the correct answer then ?
