Premise Acceptability

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

State

Grant premises that are common knowledge, adequately attested, or defended elsewhere; flag — don't silently grant — the contested ones.

Show

"The audit found a $2M variance" — check the citation, then grant. "Everyone agrees the program failed" — flag.

Watch for

Validity testing assumes the premises; soundness is where the assuming stops (016). Real evaluation always runs both gates.
