Validity-the state or quality of being so constructed that if the basises, stated or assumed, on which reasoning proceeds are jointly asserted, the conclusion cannot be denied without contradiction.
Straight from dictionary.com, and replaced several words in the definition of validity with their definition from dictionary.com.
A.k.a You justify your claims strongly enough to justify your conclusion. Your claims are not justified, so therefore your conclusions are false. In order for a conclusion to valid, one must justify the claims they state to prove the conclusion.
And the fact is, you did mention something on intellgence.
"3. ok, let's have a real intellectual discussion, I have just created a thread in the rubix cube section titled "Logical approach to scientific hypotheses."
Maybe if you actually justified your reasoning, then there would be nothing to refute. But since you don't, it's open season.
Also, to check my sanity, I decide to ask someone about your statement of "Validity doesn't rely on support". Since you're obviously referring to logical support:
"If it's logical support, then ummm, duh? The point of debate is to determine which side is logically superior. Validity is just a way of saying "this statement's logic checks out" in 1 work"
