    a= “birds are dinos”

    b= “dinos are reptiles”

    c= “birds are reptiles”

    Structure: If a then b, therefore c

    a does not imply b without an additional statement (which we can assume from the rest would be “because birds are reptiles”)

    You’ve basically just said birds are reptiles because birds are reptiles

      I see. Thank you you for that explanation. I was letting inference do some heavy lifting. (and yes, I’m not a great communicator)
