Arguments are often unclear. It may not be immediately apparent what are the premises and what is the conclusion of an argument, and, even when this problem does not arise, exactly what claims are made by the premises and conclusion may remain unclear. Critical thinkers listen carefully to others and are open to new ideas so that they might, among other things, clarify any unclear argument.
