When a claim is made that the prmises of an argument (if True) provide inconrovertible grounds for th truth of is conclusion, that claim will be either correct or not correct. If it is correct, that argument is valid. If it is not correct (that is, if the premises when true tail to establish the conclusion irrefutably although claiming to do so), that argumnt is invalid.
Valid arguments are those where the conclusion logically follows from the premises. In other words, if the premises are true, then the conclusion must also be true. Valid arguments obey the rules of logic and reasoning.
No, not all valid arguments are cogent. A valid argument is one where the conclusion logically follows from the premises, while a cogent argument is a valid argument with true premises. In other words, cogent arguments are a subset of valid arguments.
This statement is not correct. A valid argument is one in which the conclusion logically follows from the premises, regardless of whether the premises are true or not. A sound argument, on the other hand, is a valid argument with true premises. So, while all sound arguments are valid, not all valid arguments are sound.
Valid arguments are not described as strong or weak. Validity refers to the logical structure of an argument - if the premises logically lead to the conclusion. An argument can be valid but still weak if the premises are not well-supported or sound.
No, fallacious inductive arguments are not sound. Sound arguments must be valid and have true premises, but fallacious arguments contain errors in reasoning that make them unsound.
It would depend on the specific arguments being referenced. Wilson made numerous arguments throughout his career, so each would need to be evaluated individually to determine their current validity.

A sound argument, on the other hand, is a valid argument with true premises. So, while all sound arguments are valid, not all valid arguments are sound.
All sound arguments are valid, but not all valid arguments are sound.
Inductive arguments should never be characterized as guaranteeing truth or absolute certainty. This is because inductive reasoning relies on specific examples to draw general conclusions, which are probabilistic and open to revision based on new evidence.

True. A valid argument can have a false conclusion if the premises logically lead to that conclusion even though it is not true. Validity in logic refers to the structure of the argument, regardless of the truth or falsity of the premises or conclusion.
Valid arguments must include facts and supporting documentation in order to strengthen the validity. If not, then the argument can be challenged.
Facts cannot be valid. They can only be true or false. Arguments, on the other hand, can be valid. A valid argument in one which must have a true conclusion provided that the premises are true (no guarantee of that though).
ask wheter your arguments are valid and your premises are true.
When the conlusion are not valid.
No, arguments can either be strong or weak, however, a valid argument would be considered a sound argument. The opposite would be an invalid argument.

A valid argument is certainly stronger than an invalid argument. but an argument can be valid and still be relatively weak. Validity and strength are not the same, although they are both good features for an argument to have.
