Logic issues

Now this can go wrong in several ways. "Non sequitur" means that A can be true, but B does not follow from it.

A good representation of an argumentation 'non sequitur' is that in the German Wikipedia:

                         When I'm in Vienna, I'm in Austria.
                          I'm not in Vienna.
                          -----------------------------------
'non sequitur'      That's why I'm not in Austria.

Even if both premises apply, the conclusion is not correct, because I could be in another place in Austria (outside Vienna). This example is an incorrectly applied contraposition. Misconstructions of this kind are experienced again and again in Voynich research (and elsewhere, of course). Even if two or more statements are true, the conclusion can still be wrong.In any case it is helpful to check hypotheses for logical errors of this kind.


Edit: Even an additional listing of other cities in Austria would of course not change the fundamental error, the argumentation would not improve.
