Question
If it rains ā the ground is wet. The ground is wet. Can we conclude it rained?
Answer
ā **No!** This is the **Affirming the Consequent** fallacy. The ground could be wet for other reasons (sprinkler, flooding). š” PāQ and Q is true does NOT prove P is true. But: PāQ and Q is FALSE does prove P is false (contrapositive).
