In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between 'strong' and 'weak' arguments. ' Strong' arguments are those which are both important and directly related to the questions. 'Weak' arguments are those which are of minor importance and also may not be directly relative to the question or may be related to a trivial aspect of the question.
