Parallel Method of Reasoning

by KareenaS549 Tue Nov 16, 2021 5:11 pm

I have a question about Parallel Method of Reasoning.

Can two arguments be considered parallel if the premise matches exactly but one has a conclusion which states "Hence, probably...." and the other has a conclusion without the term "probably" or any other substitute for it?

In that case, the second one is more definite I suppose, so I am just confused if we should regard them as parallel?

Sorry for the lack of context or specific question but I just had this doubt.

If the argument is possible, but you are not completely sure of it, then it is less weighty than the second

Copyright permitting, feel free to post examples of parallel reasoning q's or of any of the other q type primers I've posted, and apply my step by step. I will provide feedback as needed.
