Let understand that a "deductive argument" are valid when:

  • It takes a form that makes it impossible for the premises to be false.
  • If the conclusion is not false.

The sentence "If a footpath is exposed to heavy rain, then the surface will not experience erosion" is not fully established to exact a conclusion on due to the construction and premises.
