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
