>If some men are doctors. And some doctors are tall. Does it logically follow that some men are tall?

>> No.5519222

only if all doctors are men

>> No.5519225

Draw a Venn diagram. The "some men" who are doctors and the "some doctors" who are tall do not necessarily have to overlap.

>> No.5519244 [DELETED] 

Yes. It follows from the syllogism.

>> No.5519264

Not necessarily.

>> No.5519267

Some men are doctors. Some women are doctors.

Some doctors are tall. All of those doctors who are tall are women.

>> No.5519268

No. Let there be a short male doctor and a tall female one and nothing else. In this model, some men are doctors, some doctors are tall, but it's not the case that some men are tall. Hence, it cannot follow logically.

III syllogism, nope

Apparently we're not allowed to have propositional logic.

Does this kind of problem really get assigned in American colleges? This seems like reading comprehension for 8 years olds.

No bitch, I am real scientist working with lab with shit that you barely even know it does exists.

Are you sure you don't have autism by any chance.
of course it is, that is why it's a troll thread when it gets made once every six hours.

>> No.5519617

>>5519610

You are right, I didn't get on surface of internets very often, so sometimes I forget somebody who lives with mother is so satisfied by his life to waste his time doing shit like this and I unfortunately often fall for illusion of stupid he is, because there are REAL people who would ask this.

Even if some of the troll threads were made by people with actualy question, deleting these threads on sight is still benefitial to general quality of the board.

In addition to that, disregarding the intentions of the OP, the thread is bound to degenerate into trolling resulting in no actual usefull information gained for anyone.
