    Q1 you say A.

    The question was: given the above restrictions, can you conclude that the answer to Q2 is A?
    That's not the question. The question is why do you think the answer to Q2 is B. It could just be not A. Just like fog is not ice.

    No, we're still trying to get you to accept that the conclusion isn't A.

    I don't accept that because the answer still could be A

    See this is where you're struggling with the workings of logic.

    The conclusion is most definitely not A. If it was, the answer given would have been A.

    no, you don't know that. The conclusion could be A. We don't know the conclusion because there is no conclusion.

    Yes we do. The conclusion is not A.

    If A, not B.
    If B, not A.

    Not A.

    Therefore, B.

    I really don't know why you're choosing to die on this hill. But the logic should be really simple.

    If A, not B
    If inconclusive, could be A or B

    if you're using the word "therefore" then you are inferring information that is not in the Mueller report.
