It can be refuted by proving that a premises is false
or statement X doesn't lead to statement X+1

A statement can be disproved by a contradiction inside it

No, this is the definition of a syllogism. Proof is a much broader concept.


I did not say it is a proof
I just said it can be refuted using Syllogism

And now you're just a garden variety liar. Didn't Allah teach you any morals?
