TL;DR: In this article, a computer-aided study of the structure of arguments may help in deciding which argument is more logical, more reasonable, and better fit the facts better than the other.
Abstract: We try (most of us) to be logical in our work. We listen to arguments (most of us) and try to be persuaded by that argument which is better - because it is more logical, because it is more reasonable, because it fits the facts better. But how reliably does one tell which is better - except by illogical intuition? Computer-aided study of the structure of arguments may help. © 1990, Antiquity Publications Ltd. All rights reserved.
