If formal arguments are evaluated for validity (if the premise is true, the conclusion must be true), and informal arguments aren't capable of validity, but can be evaluated for their strength, does this mean that "must be true" questions on the LSAT will always be dealing with formal arguments and questions asking us to evaluate the strength of the argument will deal with informal?
