PHI332 : The Class : Argument ID : Illustration and Examples
Sometimes an example is used to prove a statement. If it does, diagram it as if it is a premise for that statement. Sometimes examples are used only to illustrate a point. In this situation, you have a choice. If you decide it can be left out of the argument, treat it as background information and strike it. If you think it adds somehow to the argument, incorporate it with the statement it is illustrating in the same box. Practice with these exercises until you are comfortable.
