#help In the table setting example, couldn't we drill in and describe the line "zebras have black and white stripes" as a premise? I know it's pedantic, but thinking back to the tigers-as-pets example in which we explored what would happen to the argument of the premise that tigers are mammals broke down, wouldn't a similar logic apply to the zebra line? If zebras did NOT have stripes in our fantasy world (see the similarly fantastical reptilian tigers), the argument that zebras have stripes to deter flies from landing seems laughable.
