    My geometry teacher would like a word with you. If she isn't senile by now. The transitive property isn't a fallacy.

    Also, your example didn't even include a C. It only had A and B. I still don't understand the original guy's context, my point was that the transitive property isn't an argument, it's fact.

    Maybe he confused implication with equality? <.< Even if that was the case A -> B, and B -> C, then A -> C is still true it's C -> A that might be false. I'm getting flashbacks of horrible computer science logic classes now...

    Ok, before you embarrass yourself more, you should quit now... really? Geometry... lol. Besides, a logical person would clearly see C is an unnecessary conclusion to a misleading B. Now I'm going to show you how this actually relates to the actual topic.

    Betelgeuzah was basically stating that...

    A: Yoshida feels that powerleveling is ok if ppl want to help each other out.

    B: Powerleveling is the only way ppl are going to experience the game, so everyone is going to get to cap and skip content in 2 days.

    C: Yoshida doesn't care about the journey and wants players to only experience end-game content, thus ruining the game.

    Conclusion... B is misleading, thus C cannot be true. The fact that Yoshida has spent most of his time creating content for all levels to enjoy wasn't even mentioned in the OP, which completely defeats the point he's attempting to make.

    lulz, I'm not embarrassing myself, I'm entertaining myself.

    There's your original quote. I said twice that I wasn't sure what context you were trying to use that in, simply that what you said was an "argument" is actually a mathematical fact. If you don't want me to apply math rules, don't use math equations.

    Also, since I don't really care about your context, I didn't read the rest, but thanks for explaining!

    Math doesn't always apply to every facet of human communication. You should know:
    If you didn't have time to spell simple words correctly and follow basic rules of grammar, I didn't have time to read your post.
    But let me make this clear:
    I agree with the OP.
