In LR book Chapter 8 Conditional Logic p.355

#10 A wise person is never a talkative person, but every talkative person has something interesting to say.

WP--> NOT TP
TP--> NOT WP

TP--> IS
NOT IS --> NOT TP

I know these can't chained up but can you say that: TP--> NOT WP + IS?

Thank you,

Correct.

When we have two conditionals that start from the same trigger, they don't chain together, but you could certainly put them into one.

given:
A --> B
A --> C

we could certainly say:
A --> B and C

~B or ~C --> ~A

It's a common form on Match the Flaw arguments for the author to think we can somehow make a conditional link between B and C.

flawed argument:
A --> B
A --> C
thus, B --> C
