Search for Logic:

Logic - n. the art of thinking and reasoning in strict accordance with the limitations and incapacities of the human understanding. The smallest indivisible part of logic is the syllogism, consisting of two premises and a conclusion:
-Major Premise: All asses have a good head of hair.
-Minor Premise: The President has a good head of hair.
-Conclusion: The President is an ass.
Incidently, the form of reasoning here is fallacious even when all three statements are true. This demonstrates logic's strengths.
