A consulting firm that provides environmental impact reports is asked to assess the impact of a proposed project for a large-scale open pit coal mining operation. Using the Holistic Critical Thinking Scoring Rubric, the agency receiving that report evaluates the critical thinking used by the consulting firm as "unacceptable." Describe that category and list the weaknesses that the report probably contained for it to be evaluated as unacceptable.

For the report to be evaluated as unacceptable it must have included most or many of the following mistakes:
Misinterpretation of evidence, statements, graphics, questions, and so on.
Failure to identify strong, relevant counterarguments.
Omitted or superficial evaluations of obvious alternative points of view.
Presentation of unwarranted or fallacious conclusions.
Failure to justify all but a few results or procedures, and infrequent explain of reasons.
Maintenance or defense of views based on self-interest or preconceptions, regardless of the evidence or reasons
