Week 5 Question 3

What I found interesting in the reading this week was from Epsion's book in chapter 5 was common mistakes in evaluating the premise. Examples of this are arguing backwords when you state the conclusion and the premise must be true because the conclusion is true. Another example is bad appeals to authority which is when you believe something is true just because a person of higher power or authority stated it. The most common one however is mistaking the perosn for a claim or mistaking the argument for the claim which is when your reject the argument and/or the claim just because a certain person said it. I see this done in everyday conversation because we judge people by their past chocies and ideas, but that doesn't mean we should disregaurd what they say because even if we disagree with someone we can still get another view of an argument.
