What is the difference between example 1 and example 2 in the valid arguments section ? What makes #1 a valid argument and #2 a false argument ?
I read your response to this question, you said the reason it became invalid is because of the song you played in the background, would it have been a valid argument if you hadnt played the song to flaw the argument?

Hi, the second argument is valid if we assume the premises are true. What the song did was disprove one of the premises. So, if the song never existed and it were indeed true that there is no boy named sue, then the second argument would be valid.
This is important because in LR, we are almost always attacking the logic of the argument rather than attacking the truth or the premises.
