@acenry I think bc for it to be on that end of the spectrum, it can still be an argument, but with illogical or irrelevant support for the conclusion. If it’s making two completely different claims, then it’s not an argument. But if it is at least attempting to provide support, even if it doesn’t make sense, then it’s still an argument, just a very weak and unsupported one.
