Hi, So my only question is whether or not a fact set can contain a counter-premise?

Hi Late,

Technically, they would be counter-facts, not counter-premises. Premises and conclusion are somewhat paired. so if you are saying there's a counter-premise, the standard accepted understanding would be that there's a conclusion floating around.

That said, Fact Sets can contain facts that run counter to other facts or statements, so it's possible to see that, and not infrequent at all in Resolve questions.

Please let me know if that helps. Thanks!
