NN, You misread my text, I wrote: “Since the statement “a husband is never told to submit to his wife” is categorically negative, it can have only one inference, a complete converse, which is also logically necessary.”
I did not say that a complete converse is logically necessary. I said that because the above statement is categorically negative, the inference must be logically necessary to be valid. A statement such as “a husband should sometimes have authority over his wife” is not valid since it means the husband ought to submit to his wife sometimes, which then negates the first sentence. Only a logically necessaty statement such as “a husband is always told to have authority over his wife,” allows the first mentioned to remain true.
Perhaps you should be more careful when you read my posts and make sure you understand what I say instead of assuming I do not know what I’m talking about.
