Really.

5 donuts + 5 donuts = 10 donuts

6 Ipods + 4 Ipods = 10 Ipods

Does 5 donuts + 5 donuts = 10 Ipods? No. Both answers are 10 but 10 donuts does not equal 10 Ipods.

Petronski Logic: the answer is a member of the group 10 but 5 donuts + 5 donuts does not equal 6 Ipods + 4 Ipods therefore 5 + 5 = a 10 and 5 + 5 = 10 is FALSE!

We have had a fun journey into Petronski Logic but lets get back to the lecture at hand (To quote Snoop Dogg).

We descended into Petronski Logic because you wanted to disprove this statement:

Firmware = Software.

You failed to disprove this statement - but I will give you another chance. Explain exactly when Firmware is not software. If you can do that, you can prove this statement is false. Now if Firmware is always software, then the statement is true.

HINT: you tried to disprove this statement by applying faulty Petronski Logic - this time address the actual statement.

If you want some practice exercises, try disproving the following statements:

Photoshop = Software

Windows = Software

Doom 3 = Software
