Well now that would be a strong conclusion with an incorrect premise. That's... not really better.

(Well, the rain one is incorrect. The premise of the game one isn't necessarily incorrect, but it isn't necessarily correct either, so...)

An argument can be perfectly valid without being sound.

If Santa Clause doesn't exist, then I'm a reindeer.
Santa Clause doesn't exist.
Therefore I'm a reindeer.

That's a logically valid argument. So is the argument I made regarding rain.
