So, in weakening questions, the author has left his analysis/theory incomplete. With that incomplete theory, he goes on to make a strong conclusion. Hence, there is no reason to believe that the conclusion is supported by the theory.

Does this mean, we can break this compound conditional statement into:

if X, then not Y

if X, then not Z

To simplify: (-a -> b) -> c, think of the expression (-a -> b) as y. That is, y=(-a -> b). Then, we get

y -> c,

or, -c -> -y (taking contrapositive)

or, -c -> (-a -> b)

or, -c AND -a -> b

Confirm action

Are you sure?
