| isaaczschlueter | let M = "is married" |
| isaaczschlueter | let D = "gets a divorce" |
| isaaczschlueter | all D is M |
| isaaczschlueter | not all M is D |
| isaaczschlueter | therefor D → M |
| isaaczschlueter | divorce is the leading cause of marriage! |
| replicantkitty | implication ≠ causation |
