norms of assertion

Norms of assertion are rules or standards that guide when and how it is appropriate to make statements or claims. They help ensure communication is honest, relevant, and justified. Essentially, these norms specify that you should only assert what you truly believe to be true, provide reasons or evidence for your claims, and avoid making assertions that are misleading or unwarranted. Following these norms promotes trust and clarity in conversations, helping ensure that assertions contribute meaningfully to understanding and dialogue.
