… this takes us directly into our philosophy class: What can we know?
;-)
So let us start with logical reasoning:
Clavi’s point could be: As there was a Gübelin Ipsovox Parking E858 manufactured by JLC, there also must have been a JLC Memovox Parking E858.
This could be the conclusion of a valid syllogism – but as logical argumets work with generalization, it will only be valid if there is a corresponding major premise which contains a general term. This premise would read as follows:
All Memovox models/special dial variants that were sold under the Gübelin label as Ipsovoxes, were also sold by JLC under their own label.
Thus it makes a valid argument. But is it true?
For a valid argument that is also true both premises have to be true, i.e. the aforementioned premise and Clavi’s premise that there was a Gübelin Ipsovox Parking E858. While we may assume the latter, what do we know about the former? Did Gübelin commission special models that JLC did not sell? Did they do the imprint on their Ipsovoxes themselves?
Food for research!
Have a great Whit weekend – all of you!
