| − | Most of the examples of liberal logic which are listed are not arguments at all. No argument, at least according to Aristotelian term logic, can have just one premise. For instance, the following examples are not arguments: 5, 11, 12, 28, 29, 30, 38, and 43. To give a specific instance of what I mean, consider example #29: "Claiming that teaching abstinence does not reduce premarital sex and associated disease." To simply assert such a proposition is not in itself an argument. Rather, if anything, liberals would make an argument ''for'' such a proposition. As I see it, either these need to be called something other than "arguments made by some liberals" (such as instead: 'claims for which liberals fallaciously argue) or most of the examples need to be removed (because they aren't examples of any argument whatsoever). | + | Most of the examples of liberal logic which are listed are not arguments at all.
