ACCURACY

To be accurate is to represent something in accordance with the way it actually is.
People often misrepresent or falsely describe things especially when they have vested interest e.g. Advertisers
Good thinkers must question whether what they hear is true and accurate

CLARITY

This is a gateway standard, it helps to determine whether the point at hand is accurate or relevant. For example we ask; could you elaborate on the point? Could you put it in another way? Could you give an illustration or an example?
If a statement is unclear we cannot say anything about it because we do not know yet what it is saying.


PRECISION
A statement can be both clear and accurate but not precise
To be precise is to give the details needed for someone to understand exactly what is meant.
In some situations specifics are essential for good reasoning yet in others they may not.
For example we ask; could you give more details? Could you be more specific?

RELEVANCE

Something is relevant when it is directly connected with or bears upon the issue at hand. For example when its pertinent or applicable to a problem you are trying to solve
A statement can be clear, accurate, precise but not relevant Thus we ask; How is the idea connected to the question? How does it bear on the issue? How is it related to this other idea? How does your question relate to the issue we are dealing with?
Thinking that is relevant remains on track.
