this was an example of a non sequitur. one type of logical fallacy. "it does not follow."

An ant is an animal.
An elephant is an animal.
Therefore an ant is an elephant.

ant = A
elephant = C
animal = B

Get your story straight cunt.

That's also not what happened above, without some circuitous rationalization.

It also was not a colooquial non sequitor, in which a statement makes no sense to what follows, such as:

I did poorly on my math test, I hope berries splatter your face.

L2 Engrish before you attempt to use complex terms.

That is not the logical breakdown of non sequitor. There is no "d" involved.

All men are humans.
Jane is a human.
Therefore Jane is a man.

A = C
B = C
Therefore B = A

What a moran.

[pickled_heretic]

A=B, C=D, therefore A=C.

this is a perfect example of a non sequitur. any time the conclusion does not match the evidence, that is a non sequitur. what you're referring to is ad absurdum.

Your educators need to be dragged out into the street and flogged, I hope berries splatter your face.

and just for the record, this is not a fallacy at all. this is an example of correctly applied transitivity.

That is why ants are elephants, yea?

Distribute your middles, and pay attention in school.
