The best proofs don't even seem like an argument. You're not "arguing" anything. You're just... laying it all out. Connecting the dots. Demonstrating it. [[Aristotle]]: > It is obvious, therefore, that a system arranged according to the rules of art is only concerned with proofs; that proof is a sort of demonstration, since ==we are most strongly convinced when we suppose anything to have been demonstrated==; that rhetorical demonstration is an enthymeme, which, generally speaking, is the strongest of rhetorical proofs and lastly, that the enthymeme is a kind of syllogism. ([[Rhetoric (Aristotle)|Rhetoric]], ch. 1)
