Strong arguments have stronger roots in the truth than valid arguments. Harder to prove wrong, strong arguments are more certain with better reasoning. Valid arguments are also true however differ due to the fact that they are more than one-sided. The person making the argument also has to believe that their points are valid and strong. If there isn’t a reason to argue there is no need for a strong or even valid argument.
Strong Argument: I can grill chicken. You can make parmigiana chicken. You cook dinner tonight.
Valid Argument: I cooked dinner for the whole family yesterday. You cook dinner tonight for the two of us.
These two arguments are valid but I think the example for a strong argument is indeed stronger. By describing what I can cook and what you can cook you can see which one is better, the preferably meal between the two. While the valid argument is just a justification as to why you should cook dinner.
The definition that you stated for valid argument and strong argument was very helpful. You stated and simplified the definitions but still gave the main points and differences between the two. The example that you used were also useful, because you used the same concept but the difference between being a valid argument and strong argument were still there. Your examples were very effective and helped me understand the comparisons and differences between the two arguments easily without being confused. By also elaborating your example you made your point clearer and easier to comprehend for someone who does not know the definition of an strong and valid argument. All in all, great job! :)
