E. Bruce Goldstein 2018: Cognitive Psychology 5e, Ch. 13 p. 408. This is an example of a mental model, or how people represent problems in their mind to validate a syllogism with deductive reasoning. The syllogism is, for some reason: None of the artists are beekeepers All of the beekeepers are chemists Some of the chemists are not artists

Hmmm... yes. Makes a lot of sense when I don't think about it.

What about the guy who wears a Spirit Holloween "Dr Feelgood" lab coat?

Ok, yes, I see your point.

As a chemist, I can confirm this is true

That's organic chemistry tho, so it might be a biologist in disguise!
