Example 5: A conditional rule
Last Updated On: Sat Aug 29 2026Passage
Employees who complete the safety training may operate the warehouse equipment. Ravi has not completed the safety training.
Proposed Inference
Ravi may not operate the warehouse equipment under this rule.
Judgment
The inference is probably true.
Explanation
- The rule gives completed safety training as a condition for permission.
- Ravi lacks that stated condition, so the inference is strongly supported.
- The wording may leaves open the possibility of another explicit permission rule, so certainty is not stated.
