Critique Soundness

Reject a Premise

If you say that a premise if false, then

Reject Conclusion then Reject a Lesser Premise

If you cannot believe the conclusion at all, then:

  • Pick a premise that you don’t believe that true
  • Say that certain premises are incompatible (also rejecting a premise)

Good Objections

Be Charitable

  • Ask why someone would believe this in the first place. Play Devils Advocate

Be On Target

  • Ensure you are rejecting the premise
