John is 5'8" tall. Harry is 5'9" tall. Ergo, Harry must weigh more
than John.
The half-open interval (0,1] is a proper subset of the closed
interval [0,1]. Ergo, [0,1] must be longer than (0,1].
{1, 2, 3,...} is a proper subset of {0, 1, 2,...}. Ergo, {0, 1,
2,...} must contain more elements than {1, 2, 3,...}.
Oh, one other thing. The sun revolves around the earth.
