Rowan Counterintuitive 
1A. You state that this is a factual claim, which could true, but it could also be a cause and effect claim. In the quote, the author says “If benchtop saws become drastically more expensive or manufacturers withdraw from the market, there could be a return to improper use of circular saws and unintended declines in safety.” The cause is if the bench top saws become more drastically more expensive and the effect is here could be a return to improper use of circular saws. I personally think this could be more of an opinion claim than a factual claim, because there is nothing saying that people will go back to unsafe saw habits. Yes, it is likely, but even so that is my opinion, and not a fact.
