    "Alive implies needs-resources" is not the same as "needs-resources implies alive"

      Of course not. And if he'd said "alive implies needs resources", the argument would not be valid. ianterrelwt posted the article explaining this.

    You don't need to hedge. That's exactly how logic works.
