Persuasive argument plays a vital role in discourse and decision-making. It serves as the backbone of a convincing dialogue or a convincing piece of writing, enabling the presenter to effectively communicate their viewpoints and win the audience's agreement. A good argument is characterized by a clear claim, logical and well-structured reasoning, and strong evidence. The claim is the statement that needs to be proven or disproven, while the reasoning is the logical process to support the claim. The evidence, on the other hand, strengthens the reasoning by providing credible and relevant information or data. However, one must be wary of irrelevant or unsound arguments. These are arguments that may appear persuasive at first glance but fall apart under scrutiny because they lack logical coherence, credible evidence, or both. They often rely on fallacies, emotional appeals, or misdirection, rather than substance and truth. Unlike serious use of good arguments, irrelevant or unsound arguments are often used to manipulate rather than enlighten.
