Syllogisms are arguments. But a claim is not a syllogism.

how about giving me the condensed version?

Because it's true

Syllogisms are arguments. But a claim is not a syllogism.

"Because" implies at least one other term (unstated) to go along with the conclusion "it's true."

As the only other statement provided is my own request, the conclusion does not follow.
