Vacuous Truth: When Logicians Win On Technicalities
The beautiful trap of formal logic strikes again! While normal folks hear an absurd hypothetical and react with confusion, logicians are smugly nodding because the statement is technically true.

In formal logic, this makes the entire "if-then" statement true by default—what logicians call a "vacuous truth." It's like promising to give everyone a million dollars if the sun turns into chocolate pudding. Technically, I haven't lied! The whole field of mathematics is built on these pedantic technicalities, and some of us are way too proud of understanding them.
