Flawed Arguments
Show me an argument without flaws and I will show you something that is either a tautology or dogma.
What I stress is that no argument is flawless and I base that in part on Godel's Indefiniteness proof, Wittgensteins' observations in Tractatus and Morris Klines' book on the limitations of mathematics (I always forget the name and have to google) but bottom line, if there is not perfection in mathematical proofs then where may we hope to find arguments which are not flawed in some fashion?
