Invalidity

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

An argument is invalid when the premises could all be true while the conclusion is false.

Show

"All dogs are mammals; Rex is a mammal; so Rex is a dog." Rex could be a cat. Invalid.

Watch for

One possible counterexample is enough. You don't need the premises to actually be false.
