The "Some Greeks are logicians and some logicians are tiresome; therefore, some Greeks are tiresome." is true because all the premises and the conclusion is true even though tiresome is a moral jugement . — Preceding unsigned comment added by Boutarfa Nafia (talk • contribs) 15:02, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
- While unlikely, it's still possible that a hundred percent of the tiresome logicians aren't Greek, though. Which, if true, would also imply that none of the Greek logicians are tiresome. 198.48.202.76 (talk) 21:28, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- 1. "Some Greeks are logicians and some logicians are tiresome; therefore, some Greeks are tiresome." is not a valid argument. Form is Some A is B, some B is C therefore some A is C. You might as well argue "Some dogs are animals, some animals lay eggs therefore some dogs lay eggs.
- 2. An argument can be said to be valid or invalid, sound or unsound but neither true or false
- 3. Statements are true or false, not arguments — Philogos (talk) 00:59, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
