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:
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:-)
