To be strong, an argument must have good premises. Premises are reasons that support the conclusion of the argument. There are three stated rules to follow when constructing an argument. The three requirements an argument must meet are: 1.) “The premises are plausible” 2.) “The premises are more plausible than the conclusion” and 3.) “If the argument is valid or strong.” 1.) Premises must be believe and realistic. Meaning people must buy into the reasons that you're selling. 2.) The conclusion can be false based on other's opinions. Meaning the conclusion is a subjective claim. 3.) The argument just has to be strong and supported.
An example would be: The concert will be rescheduled if it's raining. It's raining. The concert will be rescheduled.
The premises are plausible because if the it rains the concert would get reschedule and it's raining. The premises are realistic and there's no doubt about it. The argument is true because there's no doubt the concert is going to be rescheduled because it's fact that it's actually raining.
I want to tell you that you made good examples in your post. It makes it very clear to a person the difference between the two without having to go into too much detail. It's straight and to the point. If I had never read anything on the subject before this would be a great introduction. your premises all match up with your conclusions. and your premises are very plausible. You could say your post is a strong and valid argument in convincing somebody about the topic at hand. Another final thing about your post i need 100 words so i wrote this sentence to meet the minimum. lol.
