Not all true so not a tautology.
Valid and not true: It follows the premises so it is valid. It is not true because not everyone that uses the mascara gets explosive volume in rocket time.
It makes sense in real life. I have used this mascara before and it really works but it may not work for everyone.
your truth tables really helps your valid but not true statement, nicely done.
ReplyDeleteEverything was really clearly labeled and was easy to understand, good job

ReplyDeletecool advertisement for this assignment. i was not able to view your venn diagram, unfortunately. your truth table set up is good, but the argument is a tautology. remember that "false implies true" is always true.
generally, a good job. =]
