 Given a way to compare the strength of defeasible inference steps by means of a preference relation \(\prec\), there is still the question of how to compare the strength of conflicting sequences of inferences viz. arguments. We give some examples. For a systematic survey and classification of preference handling mechanisms in NML the interested reader is referred to  Delgrande et al. (2004)  and to  Beirlaen et al. (2018).
