1. Human sciences are "fuzzy" sciences, but they are still sciences.
I was reading an article about psychology and psychologists and some of the psychologists themselves referred to psychology as not being a science. [|Is Psychology a Science]

2. Science requires data.
Answering a simple question like "how far away is that" can be breaking this rule. When you answer that question you are just giving your best guess, to give an accurate answer you would need to know the exact measurements.

3. Science runs on careful criticism.
I found an article where a writer of the Huffington post criticizes the group of all scientists. He does not have the right to criticize all scientists, he would need to have information on all of them for his criticism to be correct.

4. Fight fire with fire, and data with data.
An Article that brings up the possibility of science will discredit God being real.

5. There's power in precise terms.
A video arguing the sex vs. gender argument.

6. Correlation is not causation.
A person saying he is going to try herbs and vitamins to help his sinuses. He is just going off what people suggested to him because it worked for them, that does not mean it will work for him.

7. More of something good isn't always better.
Drinking water is good for you and important but having too much of it can cause you harm.

8. Beware the plausible, __especially__ if it works.
A person saying he is going to try herbs and vitamins to help his sinuses. He is just going off what people suggested to him because it worked for them, that does not mean it will work for him.

9. Where there's smoke, there's smoke.
A perfect example of this is the Casey Anthony case. Everyone thought that she killed her daughter and everything that was being said made it seem that way even more but yet she was found not guilty.

10. Lack of evidence doesn't mean it's false.
I am going to use the same thing i used for #7 because they were saying the suggested amount of water in a day may be too much now, but they do not have any data to back this up.
