sorry i can not agree wity you on this.
if i make an argument as follows: debussy is the best musician, because he is the musician i like the  most and the musician i like the most is the best musician.
so is my argument flawless?

Interesting..

I think it all depends on how to understand the sentence.

debussy is the best musician, because he is the musician i like the  most and (therefore) the musician I like the most is the best musician.

If the above is what you mean, it is circular.

not "therefore", but" because",for the latter part of the sentence is not a deduction but a part of my premise,so is my argument flawless?
