          Non sequitir.

          The presence of an IBC tote would imply the presence of some equipment necessary to move it (at least a pallet jack, possibly a forklift).

          However, the inverse does not follow: absence of a tote does not imply the absence of the equipment needed to move one. The presence or absence of the equipment is logically independent of the absence of the equipment (even though it would be be implied by the presence of the equipment).

          This is called denying the antecedent. In symbolic terms:

          Conditional: p → q Inverse: ¬p → ¬q

          (p → q) → (¬p → ¬q) is False.

        Which is ~3.5 foot-bathtubs or 7 MFM…Mega-Foot-Mugs or 35panda-feet or 35 pizza ft ~65watermelons per apple feet. I asked Mr Chat for these actual units, so likely to be all wrong. Things were looking credible until pizza ft. Darn!
