The conclusion of an argument cannot be trusted unless it's propositions are sound. Nor can it be trusted unless it's form is shown to be applicable to the subject. A requirement of evidence is inescapable.
Hey bud, those are the rules of the system. We can take them or leave them...but we don't get to take them when we want their authority, and leave them when we don't meet their requirements. There's simply no such thing as "appealing to argumentation" that doesn't include a requirement of evidence...if, as I took the statement, you meant logic or reason by "argumentation". If people don;t wan't to, or can't meet the requirements laid out by the system they can appeal to whatever they like. That's not my call to make.
As a system, it appears to work pretty well at what it claims to do. That's enough evidence for me, personally.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
