Hi. If I agree with premises but not your conclusion,

Then is it that I am arguing oppositie truth value?

or I agree with your conclusions but not your premises

then is it that I am arguing the truth value?

Hi Lathlee,

Interesting question! Each part has a truth value, so if you disagree with the conclusion but agree with the premise, you conclusion truth value is different. The LSAT wouldn't use the term "truth value," but would instead say you've used a similar position to argue for an opposite conclusion.

The other scenario would be described as arriving at the same conclusion from differing positions. Make sense?

Thanks!
