# Inconsistent An argument is **inconsistent** if it contains statements that cannot all be true at the same time. This lack of coherence means that, if one part of the argument is true, at least one other part must be false. Inconsistency typically arises from conflicting or contradictory statements within the argument. An inconsistent argument fails to maintain logical integrity because it contains propositions that negate each other in some way. An inconsistent argument means that at least one part of the argument *must be false*. --- Date: 20241106 Links to: [Consistent](Consistent.md) Tags: References: * []()
