... The truth table showed us a situation when both premises (p → q) and q are true, but the conclusion p is false. Therefore, ((p → q) ∧ q) → p is not a tautology and thus the argument based on it is not a valid argument. However, note that if any of the premises are false, a valid argument can produce ...
