OP I found this Melanie & Mike's page in the Burnside site. Perhaps it is worth discussing. I do not accept M&M' view.
By the way, we've always been puzzled by the following syllogism:
All men are mortal.
Socrates is a man.
[Therefore] Socrates is mortal.
It seems obvious on the face of it but, when it is examined more deeply, one realizes that there is a flaw: one cannot say that "all men are mortal" until one knows whether or not Socrates is mortal. What would Aristotle have said of that?
