Identifying Similarities

Compare two arguments or scenarios at the **structural** level — what makes them analogous?

Match shapes, not topics

Two arguments are similar when they share a logical pattern: same kind of premise, same conclusion form, same flaw or strength. Topic is irrelevant.

Argument 1: ‘Ice cream sales correlate with drownings, so ice cream causes drownings.’ Pick the similar argument.

Жауап: Anything matching ‘correlation → causation’ — e.g. ‘More umbrellas correlate with more rain, so umbrellas cause rain.’

Same flaw: ignoring the lurking variable (heat, weather).
