A claim is a statement that someone puts forward as true.
Positions, reasons, objections and rebuttals are all claims. Here are are some claims we met in earlier sets:
If we were building a brick house, we wouldn't use irregular bricks, nor ones that were likely to crumble away. So too for good arguments: we use clear, solid claims to build them.
Each box in an argument map holds a thought. We need to capture that thought in one simple, clear and precise sentence, so that anyone could immediately understand it at a glance.
