LOL! I know what you mean Tanya. I had to read really hard just to try and answer the question right, otherwise I would have probably gotten a 10% or somethin.

I never actually took the class, but my pre law friend had to, and we'd study together and quiz each other alot so we'd actually learn from each other in another field while we studied our own. I got 100% as well but didn't want to brag...

I got 100% as well, but one of my degrees is in philosophy, a requirement of which is four semesters of logic. I actually can't help myself when I take these - it's kind of programmed in.

There is also a numeric equasion tha can be applied to this.
Assuming A and B equals X...
then the question posed must equal X
If the question posed cannot equal X according the asumptions in A and B, then it is an illogical assumption.
Truth is not a qusestion here. Its the logical extention of the proposed asumptions posed in the initial premises.
This is wehre reverse logic comes into play.
Lets say that
a) all dogs bark
b) Charlie is a dog
Question
We can assume Charlie Barks.
Logic would say this is a valid arguement.
Then we have evidence. Charlie is a dog who has had his laryix removed due to cancer, therefore he cannot bark. An exception to the rule.
But yet the rule of logic remains.

But using the assumptions of your argument, if Charlie can't bark, he is no longer a dog (remember, all dogs bark). Therefore, dogs that have their larynx removed cease to be dogs.
Whether or not a conclusion is true has nothing to do with its validity.

If common sense was indeed common, everyone would have it.

Brew,
Where in any of my comments did I propose that a valid arguement was also a true arguement?

Nowhere. I was reinforcing your point. But I was also pointing out that exceptions to the rule are not really a part of the study of logic.
Whatever the truth is in the real world, it has no bearing on the study of logic, where one uses premises to determine whether or not a conclusion is true.
We're singing from the same hymnal. I guess what I'm saying is that my comments weren't directed at you, but meant for the general discussion that has ensued on this thread.
