The Validity–Truth Confusion
Captions available
The idea
Validity concerns the connection between premises and conclusion, not their truth. True statements can form an invalid argument; false statements can form a valid one.
In practice
"Grass is green. Snow is white. So Paris is in France." Three truths, zero connection—invalid.
