Reasonable on arguments

Reasonable on arguments

The Reasons to Believe, Newsletter arrived via regular mail today.

'What characterizes a good argument?' Reasons To Believe Newsletter, March/April 2021, Glendora, California. 

More reason and logic from Reasons to Believe and Ken Samples. I agree (paraphrased) that a solid, reasonable, premise (s) supports a solid, reasonable conclusion. In other words, a good argument is presented.

As has been noted on this website:

A valid deductive argument can have false premises and a true conclusion (FT), false premises and a false conclusion (FF), true premises and a true conclusion (TT); however, true premises and a false conclusion (TF) is invalid. Valid arguments with all true premises are called sound arguments. These also have a true conclusion.
