Validity- That a Conclusion has to follow from a set of premises if those premises are given to be true. i.e. An argument is valid given that the premises are true, the conclusion cannot be false. this of course only applies in deductive logic. Truth- statements made in logic which are in agreement with reality. Soundness- an argument or statements that is both true and valid. Me thinks that some one has taken a Symbolic Logic course.

Major premise = If a result is repeatable, it's more likely true. Minor premise = I've repeated the same results upon multiple interrogatives/examinations. Conclusion = Within the parameters of my inquiry, my idea is likely true! Quod Erat Demonstradum ;-)
