Arguing about Arguing is a series of videos that outlines trends in case notation literature, over the last 20 or more years, that seem to be overturning the position that Goal Oriented Requirements Engineering notations, such as i* and Goal Requirements Language (GRL) could not be used as assurance reasoning - during the Act of Design.

Part 1 kicks off the interpretation of the last 20 years of case based reasoning literature.   In a argumentative galaxy far far away, people were finding it difficult to argue textually.   We then pose a question: What would a graphical argument notation look like that would require no training in classical argument, propositional logic or first order logic?

Part 1 leaves us with the idea there is a temporal tense of argument, that may or may not require a different lexical and syntactic process over the graph, but especially we question how that temporal aspect might interact with notion of the use of argument.

In the middle, Part 1 then runs through the narrow view of graphical argument adopted by case based reasoners.   Along the way, taking note of elements of classic argument that narrow case based view threw out, to simplify the style of argument.  In the process, we find out that there is a turf war between case based reasoners and the cognitive science based Goal Oriented Requirements Engineering notation camp.   We also find we have a problem with temporal aspects of reasoning over the system lifecycle and possibly with notions of use of argument.   So whether Rationale is not Argument claim is short sighted on both the temporal and mode of use of argument aspect becomes a question.
