ABSTRACT
A reasonable argument contains nothing that would form an obstacle to the resolution of a difference of opinion. If written argumentation is well presented, the reader will not miss any of the important points. A well-presented argument will have a good balance of explicit and implicit elements. To reach a resolution, the argumentation must be comprehensible to the intended audience. Generally an analytical overview is made only after an argumentative text is completed. However, it can also be a useful tool when rewriting the text or even when writing the first draft. "Quality control in private clinics is almost impossible" is an example of irrelevant argumentation. The text "Ban Commercial Health Care" has an internal contradiction, uses irrelevant arguments, and the arguments that are relevant are often unclearly formulated or do not stand up to obvious points of criticism. Medical associations have no say in the clinics; there are no peer review, and profit-making play too large a role.
