Strong VS. Valid...

In order for a argument to be considered a strong one, it has to mean that all the possible conclusions are extremely unlikely but still somewhat possible. For a argument to be considered valid, since it is not possible for the premises to be true and also for the conclusion to be false. It is hard to determine the difference between a valid and strong argument. Am example of a strong argument could be, out of al the weddings I had attended along with the ones my friends have attended, the brides dress is always white. Therefore, all brides wear white wedding dresses. Verses a valid argument which could be, when I walked into a wedding dress store all the dresses were white. Therefore, all brides wear white dresses . Even though both examples have the same conclusion, in some cases a strong argument along with a true premises is sometimes better than a valid argument.
