Monty Python

Claim- The woman is a witch

Data- She looks like a witch, she weighs the same as a duck

Warrant- Wood burns, and they want to burn the witch, so a witch must be wood. Wood floats just like a duck, so if the witch weighs the same as a duck, then it must be wood.

Backing- Wood and ducks float so the logic used is witchàwoodàduck

Reservation- The logic of how they go from a witch being compared to wood, and then wood being compared to a duck is very flawed.

Qualifier- She will be burned because she weighs the same as a duck.
