Following the rules of logic is the key to making a good argument for any proposition. Logic is something of a science, which with practice, can be mastered. The following is meant to be an amusing demonstration of logic by using an example of bad logic from a scene in the classic British comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975).
You may watch the clip here and then see my analysis of the logical reasoning below:
An Inductive Argument:
At the beginning of the scene, the mob attempts to use inductive reasoning, which means they attempt to arrive at a conclusion ("She's a witch!") by way of empirical evidence. What evidence do they provide? A witch's nose, witch's clothing, a witch's hat, and a wart. The nose, clothing, and hat all fail to lead to the conclusion, because, as it turns out, they forced her to dress in such a way. Therefore, they are false premises (see the argument below). The wart alone, then, is insufficient to declare her a witch, because non-witches have warts. This is the problem with inductive arguments--they are not conclusively true with absolute certainty. Inductive arguments, at their best, can only suggest the truth of their conclusion with a high degree of probability. [1] Inductive arguments may be strong and cogent. If the given premises lead to the conclusion with a high degree of probability, it is strong. If the given premises are true and they lead to the conclusion, the argument is cogent. In this case, the argument is strong, but not cogent (because three of the premises are false).
- The woman has a witch's nose, (false premise)
- and [she is wearing] witch's clothing, (false premise)
- and [she is wearing] a witch's hat. (false premise)
- She has a wart. (insufficient for the conclusion)
- Only witches have witches' noses, clothing, hats, and warts.
- Therefore, she's a witch!
A Deductive Argument:
- If she weighs the same as a duck, she'll float. (false, confuses weight with density)
- she does weigh the same as a duck; (true in this case, if the scales are to be trusted)
- [conclusion #1] Therefore, she'll float. (valid but unsound)
- If she floats, she is made of wood. (false, many other things float)
- She does float; (false/based on conclusion #1)
- [conclusion #2] Therefore, she's made of wood. (valid but unsound)
- If she's made of wood, she's a witch. (assumed by all in the scene to be true)
- She is made of wood; (false/based on conclusion #2)
- [conclusion #3] Therefore, she's a witch! (valid but unsound)
Unfortunately for the young lady accused, this crowd of peasants and their dim-witted leader, Sir Bedevere, do not understand that arguments can be valid but still untrue.
-----------------------------------
[1] Scientific data and evidence presented in court are empirical data meant to construct an inductive argument. Scientific theories and verdicts in court can't be proven 100%; however, they can be demonstrated to be true beyond a "reasonable doubt."
[2] A syllogism is merely a form of argument in which a conclusion is inferred from two or more premises.
[3] I attempted to compose the argument in the same order as the film, but I couldn't make sense of it. Reworking it in reverse made it work.
[4] Each of the three deductive arguments that make up the larger argument that she is a witch are valid forms. The logical form that they are follow is called modus ponens, which means that the second line affirms the antecedent of the first first line. An explanation of the four valid deductive forms is beyond the scope of this post.

Man: "She turned me into a newt (pause). I got better"
Mob: "Burn her anyway!"
Sir Bedevere: "Quiet, Quiet, there are ways of telling if she is a witch. Tell me, what do you do with witches?"
Mob: "Burn 'em"
Sir Bedevere: "And what do you burn apart from witches?"
Mob: "More witches . (silence and pondering) . wood."
Sir Bedevere: "So, why do witches burn?"
Mob: " (pondering) because they're made of wood?"
Sir Bedevere: "Good . So, how do we well whether she is made of wood?"
Mob: "Build a bridge out of her."
Sir Bedevere: "Ah, but can you not also make bridges out of stone?"
Mob: "Oh yeah. "
Sir Bedevere: "Does wood sink in water?"

1. Jennifer - ★★☆☆☆
I had a very disappointing experience at Talisman Apartments in Redmond. First of all, the management was extremely unresponsive and unhelpful. Whenever I had an issue or a question, it took them ages to get back to me, if they even bothered to respond at all. Additionally, the maintenance of the apartment complex was subpar. There were constant issues with water leakage and the plumbing became a nightmare. The noise levels were also unbearable, as the walls seemed paper-thin and I could hear my neighbors' conversations and TV shows. Overall, I would not recommend living at Talisman Apartments.
2. Mike - ★☆☆☆☆
My stay at Talisman Apartments in Redmond was a complete disaster. From the very beginning, there were numerous problems with the unit. The heating system was faulty, resulting in freezing temperatures during the winter. It took multiple maintenance requests and weeks of discomfort before they finally resolved the issue. Moreover, the walls were so poorly insulated that I could hear everything happening in the neighboring units. The lack of privacy was unacceptable, especially considering the high rent prices. Lastly, the parking situation was horrendous. There were never enough spots available, and I often had to park far away from my building. Save yourself the trouble and avoid Talisman Apartments at all costs.
