Mission Sensitive Logic

We try to ensure that input data is as true as possible, as true as can be determined or known for certain, using the simplest logic that results in the greatest good for the greatest number.


A = People from planet Earth attained the Moon.

B = No space aliens exist that threaten the Earth.


IF A AND B THEN THE IMPLICATIONS
is is are

TRUE TRUE TRUE
TRUE FALSE FALSE
FALSE TRUE TRUE
FALSE FALSE TRUE


Three quarters of the implications are true.

In plain English,

It does not matter whether you believe people from Earth attained the Moon at all.

It does not matter whether you believe that space aliens threaten the Earth.

Attaining the Moon does not cause space aliens to threaten the Earth.

It is at least three out of four chances that no bug-eyed monsters are lurking.
