5.6 Mapping Inference Rebuttals

In fully-articulated argument maps, inference rebuttals become premise rebuttals (i.e., they provide evidence against previously unstated premises).  

This rebuttal is not targeted upon the first premise. It does not deny that NASA cannot produce photos of the equipment.	To map this rebuttal properly, articulate the co-premises.  The objection does deny that NASA would produce photos if the astronauts had landed.
