Implications Versus SuggestionsPrevious: Talking About Logic In a dictionary you may find that the verb to imply also means to suggest. Words which say when one event occurs so does or will a second are called suggestions or implications. Suggestions and implications can be true. True here means obeyed or at least not disobeyed. Suggestions and implications can be false. False here means disobeyed. In our reasoning process, we want to say with certainty that when this occurs so will that. In practice, we may have to be content with saying when this occurs, so may that. Knowing which of our rules are sure or which are uncertain identifies the weaknesses in our reasoning processes. The implication rules that are never disobeyed provide the most certain suggestions in reason. In logic, when we speak of implication rules, we speak of rules which we hope are never disobeyed. Rules which might be disobeyed are called conjectures, suggestions or guesses. Evidence (persuasion) should be required to convince us that a conjecture or suggestion is a reliable implication. We can imagine or suggest more than we can prove. Caution is advised on hearing a rule. Before applying a rule, you need to know how certain it is. Is it a reliable implication or merely an uncertain suggestion? Chapter Subsections: Next: Implications versus Suggestions
