A
logical fallacy in which, as
artfuldodger clearly states, the
implication logical operator is
abused. The base
problem here is that an implication says only that if
A is
true, then
B must be true. If A were
false, B could be either true or false.
To prove that the consequent is being affirmed, show that the relation is an implication and the premise corresponds to B. You may do this by showing another possible cause.
