FLaReS principle is adapted from critical thinking approach which is developed by James Lett. In this principle, statements are evaluated and claimed in rational and objective fashion. There are different rules to test the claim.

1. Falsifiability: If the given evidence shows the claim to be false.
2. Logic: The evidence offered in support of any claim must have some logic.
3. Replicability: The evidence of any claim should be based on experimental result
4. Sufficiency: Evidence offered must be enough to justify the claim.
