Valid vs. Sound

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

State

Every sound argument is valid, but not every valid argument is sound. Soundness = validity + true premises.

Show

Watch for

In everyday speech people say "valid point" to mean "true point." In logic, never.
