Validation to the Club Please?

So I remember I talked about before how in a week of discussion, I was comparing something with discrete math. Well in Chapter 8, there is an explanation in party B. "Some Valid and Invalid Forms" that has a diagram EXACTLY like discrete math, so here it is.



This diagram pretty much sums up the whole beginning of discrete math.

Well on to describe this graph, it describes the different with talking in a direct way of reasoning and arguing backwards with all. A direct way is considered valid. The example explained is about how you start with For All S are P, a is S, So a is P. You start from S then you end with P.

An example is All Yellow Cars are Bright. Wally has a Yellow Volkswagen. Thus Wally has a Bright car.

Arguing backwards makes a statement weak: All Yellow Cars are Bright. Wally has a Bright Car. Wally has a Yellow Volkswagen. With that said there are other bright cars that are not yellow, like red and laguna blue. With that statement arguing backwards thus makes an argument weak.

This picture is gonna be a good memory in my life, well not really but a good one. My friend I met a day ago at a party that I realize kicked it with hella of my friends back in high school. WHAT A TRIP!
