[Intro]
It’s a sure bet…
If it rains,
I get wet.
The rain drains….
I get wet.
[Verse 1]
I’m telling you…
The reasoning is valid
If the premise is true
In our logical ballad
[Chorus]
Can you see
(If A, then B)
Affirming the antecedent
(Confirming what I meant)
[Bridge]
It’s a sure bet…
If it rains,
I get wet.
The rain drains….
I get wet.
[Verse 2]
I’m asking you…
Is your reasoning legit
Is the premise true
Or not even a bit
[Chorus]
Can you see
(If A, then B)
Affirming the antecedent
(Confirming what I meant)
[Bridge]
It’s a sure bet…
If it rains,
I get wet.
The rain drains….
I get wet.
[Chorus]
Can you see
(If A, then B)
Affirming the antecedent
(Confirming what I meant)
[Bridge]
It’s a sure bet…
If it rains,
I get wet.
The rain drains….
I get wet.
[Outro]
Modus with the Midas touch
(To the mind, logic is music)
The rain drains….
A SCIENCE NOTE
The basic rules of logic are principles that guide reasoning and argumentation, ensuring clarity, consistency, and validity. These rules are fundamental to disciplines like mathematics, philosophy, computer science, and critical thinking.
Modus Ponens (Affirming the Antecedent)
- Principle: If A → B (If A, then B) and A is true, then B is true.
- Example:
- If it rains, the ground will be wet.
- It is raining.
- Therefore, the ground is wet.
