Nice topper indeed. But the inference doesn’t follow that cows necessarily kill any sharks. Let us stipulate, arguendo, that “Cows kill more people than sharks” is true. Suppose cows kill one person during time period T. And cows kill zero sharks during T. It is true that cows killed more people than they killed sharks. It is however not true that cows killed any sharks because the number of sharks killed is zero.

My dear MC, now I'm dizzy with your mathematics.
ReplyDeleteYou see see, what happens is this. Several cows fall upon a shark, kill it, and then fall back singing Don't Fear The Reaper.
Or something like that.
