seems to be of the form

All A are B
C is not D
Therefore, E is not A

Does this make sense?


No. Even though the minor premise is itselt a false syllogism, I only see three terms there.

As has been said, the truth of a syllogism is not empirical and has only to do with the truth values of its arguments, as defined. It is purely logical and, as such, makes no reference to the "real" world. In addition, there is no logical structure to the world, there are verifiable phenomena.

As terrified as I was of coming back here, I stand by my original syllogism.
