Hi Craig,

Steve: What is implicit and agreed upon in advance without needing to be stated is a premise P3 that tells us that such premises like P1 and P2 when taken together ought to make us conclude the sorts of claim that you have concluded. Without such an additional ought-premise your conclusion would be unwarranted.
