Is your mother a woman
This is an example of Affirming the Consequent, also known as the Converse Error
Their statement affirms: "if it makes my dick hard, then it's a woman" whereas the assumption being made here is "if it's a woman, then it makes my dick hard". This is the converse of the original statement, and doesn't carry the same logical truth as the original.
It should be noted that the inverse ("if it doesn't make my dick hard, then it isn't a woman") also doesn't, but the contrapositive ("if it's not a woman, it doesn't make my dick hard") does!
Are you gonna teach proofs by induction next week?
Hopefully, I’m taking notes
Sorry. I only have a gas stove 😔
That's a lot of words to say "sufficient, but not necessary. "
