Thats ok.
Mental pretzel...
I like that image :-)
Thats the way it was for me.
Until I learned the 'rules' which 'tell' you whether an argument is valid or invalid.
Everyone is capable of follwing the rules.
But being able to tell before you know the rules is much harder.
And you did settle on the correct answers - even though you weren't so sure about them...
Maybe you over-thought it by second guessing your answers and then started with the pretzel thing :-)> Relatively simple arguements for a relatively simple person - it was a perfect match then.
You aren't simple.
You aren't simple at all...
All I mean is that once you know the rules you can figure out whether arguments with 5 or 6 or 9 premises are valid or invalid. But there one needs to follow the rules to figure it out - because there is no way that we can just 'see' it by looking.:-)
