“Valid” is a synonym of “relevant”
![Page 24: Definition- Convincing someone to change their belief or to do something.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f2f5503460f94c49f82/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

APPEAL TO FORCE
Someone in a position of power threatens to make bad things happen to anyone who dares to disagree with his argument.
•If you do not agree with my political opinions, you will receive a grade of F for this course.•I believe that Herbert Hoover was the greatest President of the United States.•Therefore, Herbert Hoover was the greatest President of the United States
This might be an effective way to get you to agree (or at least to pretend to agree) with my position, it offers no grounds for believing it to be true.

Irrelevant Conclusion
An argument that actually provides support for an entirely different conclusion.
•All children should have ample attention from their parents.•Parents who work full-time cannot give ample attention to their children.•Therefore, mothers should not work full-time.
This might be true about working parents generally, but doesn’t make it true about women alone and not on men. This procedure may succeed in distracting the audience from the point that is really at issue.

believe what you believe, but rather leading someone to the truth.” Alan Dershowitz
The most powerful persuader will be the one who can take one step back and see the other person’s point of view.
Look for the values that you have in common with your opponent.
