On disk one of TLII lesson 1, when he's going over question 14 he is telling how to construct a prae-prae syllogism. The example he is using is:
No dwarves(P) are tall(M)
Gimli(S) is a dwarf(M)
Therefore, Gimli(S) is not tall(P)
Dwarves is the middle term and tall is the predicate but they have them switched. They can't make a prae-prae syllogism with the conclusion "Gimli(S) is not tall(P)"
Is that an error? :confused:
