| But if the evidence be deductive, it will probably consist of an enthymeme, or of several enthymemes one depending on another. |
| Judgments of logical soundness and pragmatic convincingness as related to standard 3 component syllogisms and to enthymemes. |
| If the former interpretation is true, then Aristotle concedes in the very definition of the enthymeme that some enthymemes are not deductive. |
| Further, Aristotle distinguishes between enthymemes taken from probable premises and enthymemes taken from signs. |
| Therefore, the advice that enthymemes should be short and should not have redundant premises can, but need not affect the logical completeness of an argument. |
| It relies heavily on enthymemes, which Aristotle regards as most suitable to forensic speech. |
