I’ll somewhat echo what CynicalOptimist wrote. I think the message is is one any first semester logic student should have been taught or know: a valid argument is not necessarily true. The validity of an argument’s conclusion is all about form of the argument. The truth of the conclusion is an external fact existing completely independent from the argument’s structure.
