The bottom line is suuumed up in this: "Now you see it, now you don't"

Syllogism:

Major premise: All humans are mortal.

Minor premise: Some animals are human.

Conclusion: Some animals are mortal.

 

Major term:  Predicate shows subject plus adjective Object1 with Property1

Minor term: Predicate shows another subject with another adjective Object2 with Property2 and NOT Object1

Conclusion: Predicate shows another subject with adjective Object2 with Property1

Can you see the trick?

Not to mention the fact that you need to have preliminary knoweldeg of each term used

Best,

Ferenc
