Actually, Mr Dvorak, the reason you got a C in logic appears to be the fact that you don't understand what a sound argument is. If an argument is sound, it's conclusion must be true. That's just what it means for an argument to be sound; that its premises are such that, if they are true, the conclusion must be true, and its premises are true. Perhaps you meant 'valid'?
