Definition talk:Syllogism

Wikipedia suggests that a syllogism has two or more premises - it may not be limited to exactly two.

Also, apart from vaguely dating from the same sort of time period and culture as the classical syllogisms, why is a Sorites in the "also see" here? From what I understand, a sorites is not a syllogism but a paradox, requiring the answer: at what point does a collection of sand grains become a heap? At what point does the last straw break the camel's back? and so on, easy to answer mathematically but brain-crushing to a muggle. --prime mover 14:45, 27 December 2011 (CST)
