If an argument does not commit a fallacy, it is - necessarily valid.

If an argument does not commit a fallacy, it means that it is free from any logical errors or reasoning mistakes. When an argument is logically valid, it means that the conclusion follows logically from the premises, regardless of whether the premises are true or false.
