Premises

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

State

A premise is a statement offered as evidence or a reason for the conclusion.

Show

In "All fish have gills; trout are fish; so trout have gills," the first two statements are premises.

Watch for

Premises don't have to be true to be premises. Bad evidence is still offered evidence.
