The conclusion is only a conclusion when mated with a premise, otherwise it is an assertion.

No, it is a hypothesis for further study.

A conditional statement is logically always true whenever the premise is false. The statement "If general_re has a billion dollars then general_re is a rich man" does not make "general_re is a rich man".

Obfuscation. No such conditional statement exists in this article.

Incomplete argument. This is all evident to me as pretty silly, so this is my final answer Regis.
