I do not write deductive arguments. I could not tell you, if I did write one, if it was valid or invalid, or whether or not the conclusions contradicted the premises. Perhaps I like Max Stirner write philosophical literature in which I just post assertions and opinions, never providing rigorous, flawless chains of reasoning to defend my positions.
A moderate logician would likely assert that reasonable knowledge can be known and does exist and that deductive reasoning is a useful tool for laying out one's position, but that an invalid argument, or an unsupported, felt or intuited conclusion might be okay occasionally, along with flawlessly prepared and demonstrated syllogisms.
