A quick math lesson on reason and logic

Well, just to go off topic for a second, I've viewed many posts in this thread, and it is safe to say that the skill of BASIC reasoning is quite... lacking. So here we go, another one of my math lessons. And this one is actually REAL this time.

First of all, all reasoning takes an if... then... format.
Example:
if a muffler is cracked, then the car will make noise

Second, you CANNOT assume that the statement can go both ways.
Example:
if a muffler is cracked, then the car will make noise <- this is true, since the job of a muffler is to shut the car up(Shut it up, not give more HP. Take note, ricers!)

If the car makes noise, then the muffler is cracked <- This statement is NOT true, since you know that there are many factors, and a cracked muffler, although a possible reason, may not be the reason.

Third, know your facts.
Example:
If the car is making noise, then your car is rusting <- if your car is rusting, it's a deathtrap anyway.


Um.. well, just though you should know, cuz wearing a pot shirt /= smoke weed. I smoke pot... I don't have a pot shirt.

..Wait, That was supposed to be the OTHER way around..
