Ex falso quodlibet/EFQ/Genz: Ex falso quodlibet (EFQ) can be used for false "proof":
E.g."If 2+2=5, then 2+3=6."
EFQ/Genz: EFQ is correct because the conclusion is maintained if we take away the false premise. This is because it does not depend on the validity or invalidity of the premise.
>Validity.
Premise/Genz: the premise does not have to be made the basis of its conclusion, but it can be made the basis.
>Consequence, >Conclusion, >Logic, >Implication, >Paradox of implication.
