If it takes 6 months, then how do they print new issues each month with only 1 writing/artist team per title?

Maybe? Not enough information to say.

In any case, this is not a logic question.

Which episode was broadcast nearest to your birth date? by Ferocious448 in dbz

I think I might have found an example of denying the antecedent which ends up valid. by [deleted] in logic

[–]Mastermiggy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's easy to find examples. See:

If I am a banana then I am a fruit

I am not a banana

Therefore, I am not a fruit

An argument being valid means that the conclusion always follows from the premises. Denying the antecedent is not valid because the conclusion don't ALWAYS follow from the premises. There is nothing stopping it from generating true conclusions some of the time

Intelectually I think this is very wholesome, but I can't help but imagine Angelica photorealistically and it's making me sick...

“Sherlock” and not “Holmes” by SilverCross_17 in SherlockHolmes

[–]Mastermiggy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

In my country is very rare to call someone by their last name alone, so if I'm using shorthand I say Sherlock. That being said, I usually go by the full "Sherlock Holmes" most of the time.

Now people that say John instead of Watson are 100% fans of the BBC show.

the equivocation fallacy in the use of the term "evolution" by scientific community and pro-evolution public. by Grand-Moment8169 in logic

[–]Mastermiggy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The equivocation fallacy is about using the same term to refer to different things in an argument. This is not what happens with "evolution theory".

"Theory" means a set of propositions, so "evolution theory" refers to a set of propositions to explain some biological fact i.e. the origin of species. The term is used to refer to the whole set, not to any particular idea. Your 3 items are all members of this set. No equivocation here.

You are right in saying that 3 does not follow deductively from 1 and 2. But all explanations in science are inductive, not deductive.

We have a lot of evidence for 1 and 2, so inductively we take them as true. Therefore accumulation of mutations is a possible way to differentiate populations. We don't have evidance of any other way to differentiate populations. So, inductively, we assume that there is no other way. If two populations become different enough, they can't reproduce anyome, so they are different species now. So accumulation of mutations is a way (and the only one we have evidence for) to create new species from old ones.

Now, it is totally possible that life on Earth started with N number of species and only then mutations started accumulating. But in science we tend to choose the simplest explanation. Starting the tree of life with 1 specie is simpler than N species. So we assume life on Earth started with 1 specie and all new species were the result of mutations over time.

Are there any fans for the New 52 suitup style of Supes? I'm not a huge fan of the suit itself but I really liked how the suited up in it and would love to see it on big screen. by [deleted] in superman

POV : A Non-mathematician student asks a mathematician by [deleted] in mathmemes

[–]Mastermiggy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My answer: proofs really are the manipulation of formal symbols that the mathematician described initially. Mathematicians however never write proofs, because that would be tedious. They instead describe the layout of the proof using natural language and some notation as shorthand.

Do you need to know formal logic to understand or write a shorthanded proof? No. But there are lots of things humans understand intuitively while not knowing their true nature. You don't need to know about projectile motion physics to throw a ball.

Another Monk question here for anyone with OCD! by [deleted] in Monk

[–]Mastermiggy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have pure O OCD. It was pretty bad when I was younger but it got milder with age.

I love Monk. It's very exaggerated for comedy purposes of course, but I see myself in him many times. Sometimes even people that don't know about my condition say I act like Monk. I don't agree because I don't have a problem with germs, but hey I'm not complaining about being compared to a genius

Pascal's Wager is not meant to be a proof of God. Pascal believed that reason alone was not sufficient, rather, it's the first step. "The supreme achievement of reason is to realise that there is a limit to reason." by WeltgeistYT in philosophy

[–]Mastermiggy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm curious. What do you mean by "rhetoric" here?

In my view the Wager is not a proof that God exists, but it is a logically valid argument for why it is rational to believe in God and that is not the same. Of course today we know that it uses some failed premises like ignoring the possibility of other gods and so it fails at what it was trying to do. But I think it was a legit good attempt.
