Quote:A faulty premise does not necessarily equate to faulty conclusion .
Indeed;a faulty (untrue) premise can lead to a logically valid inference. However,that inference may not be claimed to be true. Logic 101: In logic, the premise is always assumed to be true for the sake of argument. All logical arguments begin " IF whatever, THEN---- "
A logical inference is necessarily true if and only if the premise has been proved to be true. Without such proof ,an inference may be incidentally but not necessarily true.
