Assess The Validity Of An Argument

Although the quality of an argument can generally be evaluated by its ability to become convincing than other arguments, a argument veracity can not be warranted just because it has convinced someone with a opposing point of view. Therefore, despite the fact a convincing argument can be measured by its capacity of changing other's people mind in respect to how plausible that argument was, the best test of a argument does not rely on the argument possibility of changing someone's point of view, but on how veritable it is. Since there are several fallacious arguments that succeed to convince people about their relevance, a argument that is simply convincing might not necessarily hold the truth.

Therefore, what turns an argument stronger is more the factual support of the argument and how it clearly reflects the reality that it tries to depict. As a result, it is the reality check and not how convincing is an argument, that is the best test to evaluate how feasible and fit is an argument to a certain
