Not all arguments are serious or good. The following silly argument comes from a famous scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Reconstruct the argument that is supposed to show that the woman is a witch.
CROwD: We have found a witch. May we burn her? ...
WOMAN: I'm not a witch! I'm not a witch! . . .
LEADER: What makes you think she is a witch?
MAN \#1: She turned me into a newt!
LEADER: A newt?
MAN \# 1: I got better.
Crowd: Burn her anyway!
LEADER: Quiet! Quiet! There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
Crowd: Are there? What are they? Tell us. Do they hurt?
LEADER: Tell me, what do you do with witches?
Crows: Burn them!
LEADER: And what do you burn apart from witches?
MAN \#2: More witches!
MAN \#3: Wood.
LEADER: So, why do witches burn?
MAN \#1: 'Cause they're made of wood.
LEADER: Good! . . . So, how do we tell whether she is made of wood?
Crowd: Build a bridge out of her.
LEADER: Ah, but can you not also make bridges out of stone?
Crowd: Oh yeah.
LEADER: Does wood sink in water?
Crowd: No, it floats. Throw her into the pond!
LEADER: What also floats in water?
Crows: Bread. Apples. Very small rocks. Cider! Great gravy. Cherries. Mud. Churches. Lead.
ARTHUR: A duck!
LEADER: Exactly. So, logically, 一
MAN \#3: If she weighs the same as a duck, she's made of wood.
LEADER: And therefore?
Crowd: A witch! ... A duck. A duck. Here's a duck!
LEADER: We shall use my largest scales.
Crowd: Burn the witch! (Woman is placed on scales opposite a duck.)
LEADER: Remove the supports. (Woman balances duck.)
CROWD: A witch!
WOMAN: It's a fair cop.
