That's incorrect. Knowledge of symbolic logic is pretty important for programmers, so you may want to crack those books open again. Being annoying is necessary for being alive, according to Ms Atwood, but it is not sufficient. There's no reason why the dead or undead can't be annoying, without being alive. > So, if Sean is annoying you, it does not logically follow > that he is alive. That, however, is correct. Again, he could be dead, but I think it is more likely that he would be undead. Actually, that would explain a lot. Just kidding, Sean.
