Question

decide whether the following statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). explain your reasoning. because my argument is valid, you must accept the truth of my conclusion. the statement dropdown because dropdown

Explanation:

A valid argument means the conclusion follows logically from the premises, but the premises themselves might be false. So a valid argument doesn't guarantee the conclusion is true, just that if premises are true, conclusion is. Thus, the statement's claim that a valid argument forces accepting the conclusion's truth is wrong.

Answer:

The statement does not make sense because a valid argument only ensures that if the premises are true, the conclusion must be true; it does not guarantee that the premises (and thus the conclusion) are actually true.
