You obviously failed/didn't take, ate the book in deductive logic. Indeed, it astounds me that one can be so obtuse in ones logic. Simply put, you opened it and the gaff is on you. The paradox here is that you, in your feeble attempt to mock it, are indeed mocking yourself. Yes, that's the conundrum: how can you comment on the joke without looking more an ass than you already have? Well, have fun working on that brain teaser, Sir Lock, Hume or whoever you imagine yourself to be.
