A quotation from Bierce, Ambrose

LOGIC, n. The art of thinking and reasoning in strict accordance with the limitations and incapacities of the human misunderstanding. The basis of logic is the syllogism, consisting of a major and a minor premise and a conclusion — thus:

Major Premise: Sixty men can do a piece of work sixty times as quickly as one man.

Minor Premise: One man can dig a post-hole in sixty seconds; therefore —

Conclusion: Sixty men can dig a post-hole in one second.

This may be called the syllogism arithmetical, in which, by combining logic and mathematics, we obtain a double certainty and are twice blessed.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) American writer and journalist
“Logic,” The Cynic’s Word Book (1906)

What #Greenpeace said!?
Kyiv Independent

Greenpeace wrote:

Update - 14 June 2023
At least 32 fossil fuel and agricultural facilities were flooded due to the Russian destruction of the Kakhovka dam in Ukraine.

“A few days ago, the idea that the Kakhovka dam would be destroyed and the reservoir would be flooding Kherson, wider southern Ukraine, and into the Black Sea was only a nightmare – now, due to deliberate Russian actions, it is another tragic reality for the people of Ukraine. The possibility that an extreme action is taken by Russian forces against the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant must be considered a credible threat. The Russian military and Rosatom must immediately retreat from the nuclear plant. All efforts must be directed to the Russian government, including by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), demanding that there will be no destruction of the cooling water reservoir or any other part of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant site,” said Jan Vande Putte, Greenpeace nuclear expert.

Capt. Andrei Pidlisnyi said when the dam collapsed in the early hours of Tuesday morning “no one on the Russian side was able to get away. All the regiments the Russians had on that side were flooded.”

Pidlisnyi told CNN he believed the Russians had deliberately attacked the dam to disrupt Ukrainian forces’ plans for an upcoming offensive.
