Detailed explanation-1: -Here’s a counter-example to this argument: Suppose that everybody loves all winners and that I am not a winner (so both premises are true.) Still, the conclusion can be false if one of the people out there who love all the winners also loves the occasional non-winner, including me.
Detailed explanation-2: -The “counterexample method” is a powerful way of exposing what is wrong with an argument that is invalid. If we want to proceed methodically, there are two steps: 1) Isolate the argument form; 2) Construct an argument with the same form that is obviously invalid. This is the counterexample.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Counter-Example Method: Once you determine the form that an argument has, if you can find an example of an argument with that same form where the premises are true and the conclusion is false, then that argument form is invalid.
