not really; two false premises emerge at the base, not one

 

the premise that 1[all dogs have four legs] is false

 

that 2[fido is not a dog] because he has only three legs is ridiculous

 

so, the allegedly solid 'logic' is as superficial as this:

 

1Christians are perfect

2Dr GT is a Christian
Therefore, Dr GT does not sin

 

in sum, while syllogistic logic appears to make sense,  in reality it might be ridiculous (e.g., unless Glenn is truly sinless) (e.g., unless 3-legged fido ain't a really a dog:-)
