@B100J @ScribblingHouse @PhilosophyExp Why would I? "If one is a philosopher, they read books" doesn't imply all readers are philosophers.
@dmbaturin @B100J @ScribblingHouse But in the Wason test, it *doesn't* mean If, and only if. Thinking it does is what people get wrong.

@PhilosophyExp@B100J How "a circle has to be paired with yellow and the colour on this side of the card is red." doesn't imply iff? -
@PhilosophyExp@B100J It could be true if we were told that we are shown a complete set, not a random selection. But we aren't. -
@dmbaturin@B100J color yellow has to be paired with a circle, which it would if it were IFF. It's not IFF. That's the whole point. -
@PhilosophyExp@B100J Ok, I've read the test again, looks like I really misunderstood the question. -
@dmbaturin@B100J I got it completely wrong when I first did it, & I didn't misunderstand the question! :)
