its interesting to see how many of these arguments are not tautologies. Are they really a good product if they don't work every time? good post!
ReplyDeleteI like that you analyzed a popular hair brand because I'm so used to seeing arguments like this one without really thinking how true it could be. Companies shouldn't make such crazy statements when the product can't work on all types of people!
ReplyDeleteanthony,
ReplyDeletegood media choice for this assignment. in the venn diagram and major, minor, conclusion portion, things don't really match up so that you can analyze whether or not the argument is valid or invalid. additionally, if you looked at the examples provided in the assignment, you will also notice that your truth table is missing many columns.
all in all the post shows a good effort, but there are just some pieces that are missing and/or incorrect.
