Considering the context in which it was most likely uttered, would you say the following claim is ambiguous, too vague, or neither?The instructions for a set of exercises: "Determine whether these claims are too vague given the contexts that are stated or implied."
What will be an ideal response?
What it is to be too vague is sometimes, unfortunately, pretty vague itself-but, we trust, not too vague for a set of exercises intended to foster discussion and illustrate that the vagueness of claims is a matter of degree and not something that has to be avoided in every context.
