The flawed nature of the argument above can most effectively be demonstrated by noting that, by parallel reasoning, we could conclude that
some painters are sculptors since some sculptors are famous and some painters are famous
some cabins are skyscrapers since all skyscrapers are buildings and some buildings are cabins
some tables are chairs since all tables are furniture and all chairs are furniture
all supermarkets sell asparagus since all supermarkets sell food and asparagus is a food
all animals are dogs since some dogs are pets and some animals are pets
