Validity/Urmson: "valid" is a value expression 1. Therefore, it cannot be re-defined descriptively. 2. From the description of a deductive conclusion cannot be shown that it is valid
Fallacy of criticism of the naturalistic fallacy of assertiveness/SearleVsUrmson: it is wrong to assume that it is logically impossible to derive a value statement of descriptive expressions. Solution: therefore, by saying that a conclusion is deductive, the criteria for its validity have already been established (that the conclusion follows from the premises). This is a special case: here, there is no logical gap between importance of a value expression and application criteria.
