Restrictions of a source's argument

Definition

Restrictions of a source's argument pertain to limitations placed on an author's viewpoint due to factors such as bias, incomplete information, narrow focus, personal beliefs, etc.

Analogy

Consider restrictions as wearing blinders while looking at something. The blinders limit your field of vision and prevent you from seeing everything around you. Similarly, restrictions in an author's argument can limit their perspective by excluding certain viewpoints or information.
