What I Learned Today :)

Chapter seven’s main goal is to educate on counterarguments. Two main parts of counterarguments are raising objectives and refuting an argument. The main point of raising objective is a way to show that the argument being presented is bad. When raising objective it challenges the premises or can show that premises are dubious, which shows whether the alcohol is weak or not. The other part of counterarguments is refuting an argument. When refuting an argument there are three direct ways: show that at least one of the premises is dubious, show that the argument isn’t valid or strong, and show that the conclusion is false. Another way is when refuting indirectly there many not be a way of proving the premises is false, but one knows that the argument is wrong.  When attempting to refute a bad argument there are different ways such as ridicule. A bad lead can lead to a slippery slope.
