[146] Now the Dialecticians¹ assert that an argument is inconclusive owing to inconsistency or to deficiency or to its being propounded in a bad form or to redundancy. An example of inconsistency is when the premisses are not logically coherent with each other and with the inference, as in the argument ‟If it is day, it is light; but in fact wheat is being sold in the market; therefore Dion is walking.”
