Certification Testing as an Illustration of Argument-Based Validation (2004, background): “Over the last 40 to 50 years, a new set of overlapping disciplines has emerged, referred to as “informal logic” (Walton, 1989), “presumptive reasoning” (Blair, 1999; Pinto, 2001; Toulmin, 1958, 2001; Walton, 1996), “argumentation theory” (Walton, 1998), dialectic reasoning (Johnstone, 1978; Pinto,…”
