This nonsense comes from the same ministry that recently pushed the idea that swine flu was an American conspiracy - a sinister plot to achieve something or other through some improbable chain of unlikely events – and it isn't surprising that logic isn't their strong point.
When dealing with concepts so subjective and fuzzy it is hardly surprising that logic was lacking, however.
On this latter view, it is not surprising that a "logic" of measurement-outcomes, in a setting where not all measurements are compatible, should prove not to be Boolean.
These observations provide a surprising PRC1-dependent logic for PRC2 occupancy at target sites in vivo.
The systems C and QC are only weakly connexive, but this is not surprising because these logics are paraconsistent and allow formulas A and ~A to be simultaneously satisfiable in the sense that a state and all its possible expansions may support the truth of both A and ~A.
This is not surprising, from a logical point of view, since extensional logic is purely truth functional, where the truth value of molecular sentences is a function of the truth values of its atomic constituents.
After visiting Johnson's intellectual movie theater, the layman is likely to recognize even more surprising examples of swarm logic in everyday life.
Abductive reasoning follows the logic: a surprising fact, C, is observed (Result); If A, the hypothesis, were true, C would make perfect sense (Rule); Thus, there is reason to suspect that A is true (Case).
A surprising amount of ephemera defied logic to survive the sinking of the unsinkable ocean liner that went to the bottom 100 years ago on April 15.
This was a surprising admission, not because the logic was flawed — it isn't — but because Pippen and Bird and Jordan, the latter of whom rarely took charges, would have never admitted to such a thing.
