They can do a valid syllogism, we should trust them on this.

[–] emstuff@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

this isn’t necessarily a valid syllogism depending on how you interpret the first premise you could call it:

All stupid ideas are had by liberals but it could also be

Some stupid ideas are had by liberals

and we don’t know which OP meant. if the latter, an I-A-A syllogism is invalid.

because the language of the first premise is ambiguous, it cannot be definitely stated that the argument posed by anon is valid
