May 17, 2018 at 6:32 | comment | added | Artimis Fowl | @RandyRanderson think through the second 2 givens in the coin example. Why is it that if the coin shows heads on the first flip then 'coin shows trails in the first flip implies coin shows heads on the first flip'? Well it's because the final statement is true, and literally anything implies a true statement. This breaks down if we swap out the event A for another event, say by flipping the coin again. | |
