Reasoning Conforms Qs and Parallel Flaw

The CAC will state

an approximation of the assumption - typically in vague or general terms

Matching Language

The CAC can be slightly broader or stronger than the assumption or weaker, they create CACs that have similar strength

The CAC will present and ENTIRE (LLF)

argument with the same flaw assumption as the main argument

Before heading to the ACs (LLF)

• EVID-CONC relationship

• determine the distinctive elements needed to recreate the flaw from the main argument

In the ACs (LLF)

• Look for language that provides a conceptual match to the distinctive elemants

• Start big and shallow

• Then examine the flow of the ACs left and if they match that of the argument

Same Subject Trap (LLF)

• The TMs create WACs that tempt the average students by simply using the same topic that is in the argument

• these are wrong 99% of the time

Symbolization (LLF)

• Almost half of LLF arguments are symbolizable

• Understanding the flaw itself is less important in these its rather does the CAC have the same symbolic structure as the argument
