Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Objection (argument)" in English language version.
The analysis map in Fig. 1 also illustrates how Rationale handles a common reasoning pattern, which we refer to as an 'inference objection'. This is where somebody raises an objection to an argument, an objection countering not the stated premise but rather the relationship between that premise and the claim it is supporting (or opposing).
it is useful to sort objections into two large classes: direct objections and inference objections. A direct objection aims to show that the claim it targets is false. An inference objection aims to show that some claim is not well supported by the proffered set of premises.
How can we reconcile the general definition of an objection as a reason to think a claim is false, with the notion of an inference objection as an objection to an evidential link (i.e., not a claim)? By realizing that every inference objection is equivalent to an objection to an as-yet-unstated premise.
