Main contention
In both formal and informal logic, a main contention is a thought which is capable of being either true or false and is usually the most controversial proposition being argued for. In reasoning, a main contention is represented up the top of an argument map, with all supporting and objecting premises which bear upon it placed underneath a sink.
