A syllogism is a basic logical argument that draws a conclusion from two premises. For example you may quote that 'if you eat chocolates, you must be fat'. A false syllogism takes two simple facts and creates a third fact - false - from the first two. For example, Killer dogs have long teeth, you say your dog has long teeth, so it must be a killer
The premises in syllogisms can be true or false, depending on the accuracy of the statements. The validity of a syllogism is determined by the logical structure of the argument, not just the truth of the premises.
Syllogisms in deductive reasoning allow for the logical inference of a conclusion based on two premises. They provide a structured way to determine the validity of an argument by following a set of rules. This form of reasoning is useful in drawing definitive conclusions from given information.
A statement that is proved by deductive reasoning is a logically sound conclusion drawn from a set of premises or assumptions. Deductive reasoning uses syllogisms to derive a specific conclusion from general principles.
Syllogisms are created by forming the three basic elements of a syllogism namely a major premise, a minor premise, and a conclusion.There are a few different kinds of syllogism (from the Greek, meaning conclusion). The most familiar kind is called categorical syllogism. This is the kind briefly outlined above, and is at the heart of deductive reasoning, coming to a statement of fact by combining other factual statements.Examples of categorical syllogism:All people are mortal.Socrates is a person.Therefore, Socrates is mortal.All planets exert gravity.Earth is a planet.Therefore, earth exerts gravity.The major and minor premises have two terms each, and they have one term in common. In the two examples above the shared terms are people/person, and planets/planet.The major premise is usually the larger or more encompassing premise: all people, all planets.The conclusion has one term from each of the premises. For the above two examples they are Socrates/mortal, and earth/gravity.It gets much more complex and subtle from here. See link for more.
"Spurious" means something that is false or fake, not genuine or authentic. It is often used to describe something that is deceptive or misleading.
The premises in syllogisms can be true or false, depending on the accuracy of the statements. The validity of a syllogism is determined by the logical structure of the argument, not just the truth of the premises.
A false syllogism is one which takes two or more simple facts and derives a false third fact from the first two. The classic example is; Nuns are only women. Only women can have babies. Only Nuns can have babies.
First, you must consider the ease with which a crackpot can build a website, compared to how difficult it is for a respectable organization to satisfy the opinions and leanings of all its respectable members. After doing that, its easy to believe there are more than twice as many sites run by crackpots using false syllogisms than there are sensible ones, who aren't. Always remember, there's nobody editing the internet, there's hundreds of crackpots, but there's only one Brittanica, OED or Wiki.
Deductive reasoning can be portrayed in the form of syllogisms.
so that they can have a clear an valid point to the argument, with proof.
Syllogisms
Clifton A. Wiles has written: 'Syllogisms' 'Poetry for people'
If you mean edges, true. If you mean faces, false.
Generally accepted to mean pseudo or fake or imitation.
The prefix for false is "pseudo-" as in "pseudopod".
