Document Summary
When reconstructing an argument, it"s best to begin by writing out a reconstruction whose premises and conclusion closely match the words of the original information presentation of the argument. Then revise and improve this until you have a clear and concise version of the argument that states it in the best possible way, this is called fine-tuning a reconstruction. 1: reconstructions with missing premises, reconstruction with unnecessary premises includes. It"s a good idea to make the wording exactly the same in premises so that the argument definitely follows a valid pattern because subtle changes in wording can significantly affect the merits of an argument. The best way to avoid improper wording in arguments is to make an argument conform to one of the standard patterns of argument. Leaving a premise out of a reconstruction can lead to misevaluation of arguments. Omitting a premise can also lead to rejecting arguments that are good ones.
