I actually found it easier that
None of A are B to mean that
A → /B
When encountering a NEVER or CANNOT
A CANNOT/NEVER be B
I translate it to No A can be B
the cannot/never after the A becomes a "no" in front of A
Which just goes to
A → /B
It clicked for me from the Mario reference that the arrow cannot go the opposite way if the argument is to be vaild
Here is what the answer gives
can fly while wearing raccoon suit → Italian plumber
/(Italian plumbers) → /(fly while wearing raccoon suit)
HOWEVER IT IS INVAILD to conclude that
Italian plumber → can fly while wearing raccoon suit
If Italian plumber, then can fly while wearing raccoon suit
Which is not true, because only Luigi and Mario can fly while wearing raccoon suits
@JesseMcCarthy
I like this explanation the most, so here is like an example I came up with
It is "required"(necessary) that you have Internet to use Instagram
But it is not "enough" (sufficient) to only have the Internet to use Instagram, you also need a smart phone with battery to use Instagram lol 😅
So in this example
When I say Jesse is using Instagram
The "necessary" condition is: Jesse has Internet
Jesse using Instagram is the subset inside the circle of Jesse has Internet
However when I ask how is Jesse using the Internet
Using Instagram is sufficient (enough) but not necessary (required)
It could be the case that Jesse is using the Internet to study on 7Sage, here studying 7Sage is sufficient (enough) but also not required (necessary) of Jesse to use the Internet
@NoraElkhyati This is also my biggest problem, it is confusing sufficiency for necessity
