What I have seen is people dispute the soundness of these arguments (ie. whether the premises leading to the conclusion are all true) . The validity if I recall correctly, no one disputed.

Did you google the definition of valid?

Here is the first that comes up: 

val·id
ˈvaləd/
adjective

  1. (of an argument or point) having a sound basis in logic or fact; reasonable or cogent.
    "a valid criticism"

So far all the arguments I've shown her, she said seem to be valid, what she advised I do is clarify what is meant by every premise (more elaboration) so to make the soundness more clear if it is sound.

Have her join AF please.
