I know you are purposely getting it wrong in order to provoke angry responses from me -- hate is your favorite snack ;^) -- but I'm having some fun with the logic here.

I think it would be interesting to hone the premises to demonstrate your sillyness even more glaringly:

  1. Jsuati supports George W. Bush.
  2. George W. Bush does not like Phil Snead of Crawford, Texas.
  3. Therefore, Jsuati does not like Phil Snead of Crawford, Texas.

Of course, it does not follow that Jsuati even KNOWS Phil Snead of Crawford, Texas -- but hey, don't let me stop you from proclaiming otherwise! You're on a illogic roll, and it's kinda endearing to watch. :o)

Note that all I have done is removed the term AWB and substituted an arbitrary person's name, thusly keeping as close to the form of your retroductive fallacy of soundness.

Laz, the problem with your "logic" is that while Jsuati might not know who this person is, the AWB and Bush's position on it are very public knowledge, therefore the illustration above is not relevant to your disagreement with tpaine unless Jsuati states that he/she is not familiar with the AWB and Bush's support of that bill.
