Conclusions can even be missing, or implicit. In a trial, the prosecutor's goal is to show that the defendant guilty, and the defense attorney's goal is to show that the defendant is innocent. Most writers and speakers are smart people. Scope and Certainty Scope can be all, most, many, some, few, or one. If an argument is for a wide scope or very certain conclusion, it needs a wide scope or very certain premise.
Premises Linked premises work together to prove a conclusion.
Convergent premises work independently to prove a conclusion. Missing Premises Premises that are common knowledge may be left out of an argument. Some premises may be implicit. This means that they are not stated, but they can be inferred from other things that are stated. Here too the principle of charity comes into play.
