    I wonder if we can get a list like this not by subject matter but by overarching argument type/structure. For example:

    Cause and effect

    No opinion

    2 opinions + synthesis

    2 opinions + new hypothesis

    Etc...

    Really appreciate this. Also, if someone has a book to recommend for a specific topic that would be even better. Like for the sciences, I'd recommend Bill Bryson's "A Short History of Nearly Everything." A pretty dense read that discusses a variety of topics that LR/RC passages cover. Found it helpful.
