In any ordinary formal logic every one can       from A always infer A ∨ B with any B.              Some formulations of logic do not use ∨ as a primitive symbol. In these       formulations it can be defined in terms of primitive symbols, e.g. as       ¬A → B.              --       Mikko              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
