Conditional Reasoning Page 204

[kalifaingold]

Hello,

I have an inquiry about "the axis of the earth's daily rotation...." question on page 204 of the bible. I will try to make this question as clear as possible so please tell me if this is confusing!
The bible wrote out the conditions like this:

notPCE-AS-GI (as in a planet's climate is NOT too extreme and unstable to support life-AS-GI)

I wrote it like this:

SP-AS-GI (as in a planet is able to support life-AS-GI)

So instead of "a planet's climate is not too extreme and unstable to support life", it just made more sense for me in my head to negate the term by saying it IS able to support life. All of my other conditional statements were flipped because I did it this way but I got the same answer and understood it the way I did it better. However, I am wondering if I should have done it the way the bible told me, in case the way I am doing it makes me do it wrong in the future.

Any insights?

If your terms mean the same thing, it's ok to use other symbols or representations. It's not the symbol, it's what it means to you that matters!

For more on this concept, see Chapter 6 in the Symbolic Representation and Diagramming Negatives section

Thanks!
