Bad Arguments
An argument is bad usually because a premiss is untenable or the logic employed in the argument is unsound. Premisses are sometimes right-sounding but irrelevant, sometimes simply wrong or unjust. The steps used to progress from premisses to conclusion are sometimes not logical, as a result of which the conclusion does not follow. Conclusions, in such cases, are usually pre-determined and the argument is a rationalization.

This is not only incorrect but also an attempt to give the occupation legitimacy. | | June 2004 | On Self-Interest Using self-interest as a tool of behavioural analysis is sensible. Using it as a principle to guide behaviour is pessimistic. |
