@Codyw43 This happens to just be a strong argument! The premise, if true, doesn't leave room for assumptions and seems to guarantee the conclusion.

Conclusions can appear factual; what makes a conclusion a conclusion is whether or not another sentence/clause/claim provides support for you to believe it. As long as there is a premise supporting a claim, you have an argument, whether it is weak, or strong like this one.

@pbahoura I think it’s because the dichotomies of good and evil are important to the second sentence. What is consistent with the dual aspect of blues and spirituals is the dichotomies of good and evil, which are not sharply differentiated within African American folk tradition.

@ShinyLoser I totally understand! I often like the videos and text explanations, but comments add a unique perspective which is helpful. I think it's because others are actively learning and figuring this out.

@tcbc59 Yep, J.Y stated in a breakdown video that the terms are used interchangeably.
