I agree with the statement “logic is the art of going wrong with confidence.” As we learned in class, there are rules governing what is logical and what is illogical. A logical statement can be seen as valid because it follows these rules. However, the statement could have an untrue premise. The person who said the statement would seem logical and correct when in truth they were completely wrong. You could be being logical but wrong. You however sound confident because you are making an argument.

I too agree that the benefit of using a logical reasoning format is to seem professional and more confident.
ReplyDeleteWhy is that that making an argument makes you sound confident? I think you can point to many examples of people making arguments when they are not confident.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tim, you can't assume that just because someone is making an argument mean their actually confident in that argument.
