What was useful from the cause and effect website?

Of course, the website was helpful. Anytime, we can get away from using the book, I learn. From the book, I barely learn anything so a website is useful in trying to educate. I liked the example of the bicyclist and his/her scenario. The website also not only used just cause and effect concepts, but used concepts from previous chapters, which is always helpful. Then, it had some very useful information about arguments. "These causal arguments, then, follow the form of an inductive argument with one important exception: whereas an inductive argument carries as part of its second premise the implication that there is otherwise no significant difference, these causal arguments carry the implication that there is only one significant difference: for the bicyclist, the truck; for the first driver, the bicycle; for the second driver, the first car. " This was by far the best part of the website. It had the most useful information.
