When someone says "because" before explaining something, they're often reaching for attention or hiding a weak argument. Watch for sweeping generalizations that don't actually hold up. Listen harder when you hear it.
The next time you hear someone say "because," whatever they're about to say is probably not true. People do that because— and then I would say something made up. I would say people do that because they seek attention. Is that the only reason people do that? I could disprove that statement by showing somebody saying something that wasn't for attention, and then great, that statement is false. Being aware of these verbal cues that people put in, and they make sweeping generalizations and they use that as a premise for a follow-on argument.
