Topic | If all fish are mammals, and some mammals are poisonous, |
Lokarin 01/18/20 10:28:46 PM #16: | OniRonin posted... what is the syllogism here? are you saying my picture isn't a venn diagram because i didn't use circles? The syllogism is the combination of your two premises and your conclusion Premise 1: All fish are mammals (all A are B) Premise 2: Some mammals are poisonous (Some B are C) Conclusion: Some fish are poisonous (Some A are C) When you represent the categories in a venn diagram, you can rapidly see that the category "Poisonous" is nebulous within this logical syllogism. It's possible that all of the poisonous mammals are non-fish due to this, it's also possible that all the poisonus mammals ARE fish (which would make the syllogism true as well, although incomplete) --- "Salt cures Everything!"
