This brings me back to logic class. Cogency was one of those things I remember us talking about, but I can't remember specifically.

To me, the inductive arguments including strong and cogent sound like they are used in a court of law to determine the likelihood of someone's guilt. Would that be correct?

Strength, cogency of an argument, Bayesianism - this all seems to lie more properly within the purview of psychology rather than philosophy. These are useful and important ideas, but it's not the same thing as examining the problem of induction, for example.

is the eating Mardi Gras case a valid argument?
