Assess the following as probably true, as probably false, as requiring further documentation before judgment, or as a claim that cannot properly be evaluated. Consider both the nature of the claim and the source."General Motors is on a journey to the future. With the help of its thousands of scientists, designers, and engineers, GM is embarking on an odyssey into the unknown. Roads paved with scientific and technological wonders that might seem like science fictions. But at GM, they're reality...."-From a General Motors magazine advertisement
What will be an ideal response?
Cannot properly be evaluated. This is too vague to make a judgment about. (In fairness to the ad, we might note that a couple of later passages in it were less vague. But not much. We might also point out that the odyssey on which GM was embarking was even more unknown than its ad agency believed, as it required rescuing the company with a federal bailout in 2009.)
