According to the POE:

Rigth, but only because a side affect of (a) is that the moon must exist.
Really, the problem here is that Olcott fails to distinguish between the truth of a conditional statement and the truth of the consequent of a conditional statement. They are not the same thing.
((X & ~X) implies Y) is necessarily true.
Whether Y is true is a completely independent question.
But Olcott seems to think that the truth of ((X & ~X) -> Y) somehow proves that Y is true. That's simply not how logic works.
I raise this point purely as a clarification. I'm well aware that this will have no impact on Olcott's (mis)understanding of logic.
