Annotation

On the traditional view that an argument can be incorrect or fallacious in virtue of some proposition in it being 'irrelevant'. Logical and conversational criticisms are juxtaposed, with the aim of finding out whether there is a reasonable way of evaluating criticisms on the relevance of arguments.
