Monty Python and the Holy Grail AND LOGIC

chrijani7

Found this interesting blog post about a logical fallacy in the witch scene of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It focuses on an inductive argument form and a deductive form (more appropriate for LSAT). The deductive form shows a good example of the difference between truth and validity which is one of the 7sage lessons. Figured I'd share its a pretty fun way to learn the way LAWGIC works.

The scene can be found here:
Note: skip to 0:40 to the beginning of the argument


The break down and explanation can be found here:
