Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 July 2016
Extract
Here's a fine argument for you!
1) Anyone who plans to prescribe medicines will need to be a skilled doctor;
2) These people plan to prescribe medicines;
3) Therefore, these people will need to be skilled rulers.
If you expected the last word of the conclusion to be ‘doctors’ instead of ‘rulers’, then you will find the rest of this note plain sailing.
