Are the words "and" and "but" logically the same?

I believe I read this or heard this somewhere; just wanted to be sure.

Hi @"Bauer Johann-1"! Effectively, yes, in Logical Reasoning Lawgic. E.g. saying "J.Y. can teach the LSAT but can't train dragons" is equivalent to "J.Y. can teach the LSAT and ~train dragons (can't train dragons). Hope that helps clarify. In Reading Comprehension, "but" typically represents a shift or contrast from what was previous stated and "and" represents additional or supportive information.
If you feel stuck with Lawgic and are looking for more 1-1 help, 7Sage offers an in-house tutoring program! You can sign up with one of our consults here: https://calendly.com/7sage-tutoring/7sage-tutoring-free-consultation?utm_source=FCA_A.
