Your conclusion that Bob is a bird does not follow from the premises you provided. My conclusion does follow from the premises I provided.
Wrong. The conclusion could possibly be true according to my premises.
Your definitions never included a "sentient being" which is why I attempted to get you to define what a "being is". You didn't.
You failed. You're off my list. Life is way too short to mess with fools like you.
