CREA
Are you arguing for the INvalidity of Modus Tollendus Ponens or that
"denying the consequent" carries no weight? If I were to claim to have had
an appendectomy and can produce no evidence whatsoever of abdominal
scarring consistent with customary surgical procededures, such lack
definitely falls into the category of an "argument from silence", but is is
hardly invalid or non-evidential.
