Re: Invalid vs. Valid Argument Forms

Hi everyone,
In the process of trying to create a summary of invalid vs. valid argument forms, I stumbled across a form that I noticed hadn't been identified as valid or invalid in the curriculum.
A ---> B
B --m-> C
---
A --s-> C
List method:
ABC
ABC
ABC
AB
AB
I know that if I were to conclude that A -m-> C it would be considered invalid (this is invalid argument form 4). I tried using the list method to check whether the "some" conclusion could be drawn and it seems valid but I'm starting to doubt I did it correctly. The closest we have in the curriculum is valid argument form #5: A--m-->B-->C. Would greatly appreciate any help in clearing this up. Don't have any background in lawgic beyond 7sage so this section of the lessons seems to be giving me the most trouble.
