State

An inductive argument is cogent when it is strong AND its premises are actually true. Cogency is induction's version of soundness.

Show

A strong sample-based argument built on real, honestly gathered data: cogent.

Watch for

Strong + false premises = not cogent. Polling from a rigged sample can be "strong" in form and worthless in fact.
