Logic & Argumentation
It is a common experience to hear someone argue for a position, and sense that something is wrong with the argument. Perhaps the reasoning is somehow flawed or there are hidden assumptions that are questionable. We think the argument should not be persuasive but perhaps we are not sure just why. We can criticize such arguments as bad or weak, or even use stronger terms of abuse like fallacious or illogical, but that is not enough.
