PR: M==> not E
E==> not M

PR: M-most-A
A-s-M

Con: A-s-E

Question: why are we using: A-s-M instead of M-most-A?

The Quantifier, M-most-A matches the necessary and Sufficient statement, M=>not E, so why are we using A-s-m

Thanks for your post. First of all, you've mis-typed your conclusion. It's A-some-NOT E.

We use A-some-M to link to the first premise, as follows:

A-some-M==> not E

Therefore: A-some-not E, which is the conclusion.

You cannot link up M-most-A and M ==> not E into a transitive statement.

Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

I got little confused with
"at least some of the people who appreciate poetry are illogical"

Do I consider this sentence as a quantifier or as a S&N statement?
Doesnt "people who" brings a necessary condition?

How do understand this kind of sentence usually?
