An argument following the rules of inference is said to be valid. Validity says nothing about truthfulness. A sound argument is a valid argument based upon true premises with true conclusions. Not all conclusions satisfy intuition, but frustrated observations indicate the observer may have exercised arrogance at some point in his thinking.

The only thing crazier than those who occupy insane asylums are those who run the asylum if they ignore truth.
