Week 2- Post 2 of 3

A valid argument is an argument that its premise and conclusion are both true at the same time. As for a strong argument, both the premise and conclusion aren't true or false at the same time. I was talking with my mom on the phone and the subject of bike riding. I told her that the faster you ride a bike, the easier it is to stay on a line. The reason being, the more speed you have the more control you can have of the bike to keep it on a straight line. (This is an example of a valid argument) "In order to be an elite gymnast, one must be in the gym every single day for at least seven hours". Yes some gymnasts around the world train seven hours every single day, but that does not make them an elite gymnast. Vice versa, some elite gymnasts only work out 3-4 hours a day only 4-5 days a week. And of course there are those elite gymnasts who do train seven hours a day seven days a week. There are more ways than just one to become an elite gymnast and other reasons to train seven hours a day than just being an elite gymnast. (This is an example of a strong argument)
