Given the rule, "If G and S are both in, then W is in," I understand the contrapositive is "If W is out, then G is out or S is out (since both G and S cannot be in). But why doesn't the contrapositive also allow for the possibility that G and S are BOTH out (as well as W being out)?

    "Remember the rule of thumb is to read them like in sentence (1), the inclusive usage of the word."

    It does allow for that possibility. It's just the difference between "inclusive or" vs "exclusive or".
