How does changing the first line of the logic equation make any difference?

Because a logical statement has to have valid inferences.  Your statement that all cats see in the dark was invalid since some cats do not see in the dark.

Read the statement again.  I didn't say "all cats can see in the dark", I said "cats can see in the dark".   Both premises were factual.   Midnight is biologically a cat and cats are scientifically proven to have the ability to see in the dark.  The logical conclusion is that Midnight should be able to see in the dark.   But Midnight is actually blind.   That's a logical curveball.

The devil is in the details.

Either the premise was faulty ("all" was implied) or the logic was faulty ("all" was not implied, ergo Midnight, as a cat, does not necessarily have the ability to see in the dark).  You can't have it both ways.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
