Talk:Affirmative conclusion from a negative premise

Marsupial cats?

Did you switch a premise for the conclusion or did I miss a day in biology? (probably) PacWalker 11:36, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

I have noticed that the given premises and conclusion for that argument all happen to be true, yet the argument is still fallacious. I can't quite put my finger on precisely why, but I think it has something to do with room for extra premises that would falsify the argument ("all mammals that are not marsupials are cats" or something like that). --Luigifan18 (talk) 16:38, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Title: illicit negative?

The longer title explains what it is, but it strikes me as rambling ... also, "illicit negative" is what it's properly called. I'm not 100% on moving it though. Anyone else? - David Gerard (talk) 11:02, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

It's only titled this cuz' Wikipedia's page and EvoWiki's page were titled this. Move at will. FU22YC47P07470 (talk/stalk) 11:39, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Oh really? If the Wikipedia article's here, that'll do - David Gerard (talk) 11:47, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
