Simple Syllogism

A basic tenet of logic is:

If A, then B.
A.
Therefore, B.

Putting this into practice:

If a certain practice results in a harmful consequence, it should be avoided.
Getting the flu is a harmful consequence.
Therefore doing something that results in getting the flu should be avoided.

and

Angela painted the house and got the flu the next day.
Therefore, painting the house should be avoided.

Ahhhh- glad we cleared that one up.
