P (B/A) being high is not equal to P(B/C) being low or not possible
Eg.
Let B be the proposition someone slays
Let C be the condition someone is not tall
Let A be the condition the male is tall
Then P(B/A) means the probability a tall male will slay hard
But many refute this saying bs like height doesn't matter because P( B/ C) occurs.
That is a male gets a girl and he happens to be short so height doesn't matter.
This is the most prevalent argumentative/ logical fallacy I see on this site since P ( B/A) has no relationship with P (B/C) unless one considers height bell curve etc. saying one is high does not automatically mean the other is low because they do not intersect on a bell diagram
