Do high agreement ratings indicate that a statement/critique/rebuttal is true?

0

Absolutely not. This is a collaborative tool for making very focused arguments but it can not determine what is true and what is false. Deciding whether a topic is rational or not is up to you. However, viewing ‘All Ratings’ in a topic does assist in easily showing you where others find fault with an argument but this is not the default behavior because the tool is best used when each individual examines the topic in order to determine for themselves whether the topic is rational. Also, the more emotionally or politically charged a topic is, the more likely it is that the agreement ratings will have nothing to do with the truth of the map. Please take agreement ratings with the same grain of salt that you would the rankings of a movie reviewer in your local paper. Your mileage may vary significantly.
