Argüman Needs A Serious Redesign/Rethink
Logical arguments and critical thinking are NOT generally constructed using "But", "Because", and "However" as objections, reasons or proof, or additional situations.

Examples are not formally included in the current Arguman structure and so are often included as premises, rather than in support of premises. There needs to be a better way to include examples and/or evidence as things that support premises - not AS premises themselves.

There's room for both Facts and Opinions, but they need to be flagged and differentiated. Facts need to be supported with evidence from trusted sources (however the community chooses to define that). Opinions should be differentiated as such.

A community of verified or at least semi-verified logicians and such could be used to enhance quality and the community, akin to Quora and others.
