Visual metaphors: Argument
Posted: - Modified: | drawing(Click on the image to view a larger version.)
Different ways to visualize argument:
- War: conflict, opposition, fight, demolishing a flimsy argument, score, scoring points, targeting the weak link, poking holes
- Logic: building an argument, issue-based information systems, sound/unsound logic, follows/does not follow
- Cooperation: Co-adventurers searching for a creative solution, on the same side, trading, shared journey
- See also: Balance
