 The floating conclusion in question concerns is political which is derivable via Nixon \(\Rightarrow\) Quaker \(\rightarrow\) Dove \(\rightarrow\) is political and via Nixon \(\Rightarrow\) Republican \(\rightarrow\) Hawk \(\rightarrow\) is political. Both arguments are super-arguments of the conflicting Nixon \(\Rightarrow\) Quaker \(\rightarrow\) Dove and Nixon \(\Rightarrow\) Republican \(\rightarrow\)  Hawk.[2]Horty (1994)  argues that floating conclusions are acceptable in reasoning contexts in which “the value of drawing conclusions is high relative to the costs involved if some of those conclusions turn out not to be correct” while they should be avoided “when the cost of error rises” (p. 123).
