Rhetoric is distinct from [[logic]] in that logic follows precise formulations in order to justify the [[conclusion]]s it reaches from its [[A priori|assumption]]s.  Rhetoric may employ logic, but also usually depends on techniques designed to lead the audience to one's conclusions without necessarily following every logical step along the way.  (but if your audience finds out you’ve omitted key facts, you’ll lose credibility.
