The problem of syllogisms is that even if the premises are true, even if both the information and the logic seems valid, the conclusion may still be false, because a syllogism is merely a logical algorithm that doesn't take linguistic inadequacies into account.

This was beautifully demonstrated by Lawrence Krauss in a debate between him and Bill Craig some time ago:

- All mammals exhibit homosexual behavior.
- William Lane Craig is a mammal.
- There William Lane Craig exhibits homosexual behavior.

Both premises are true in their own right, but the conclusion is false (at least as far as anyone knows).
