Can you think of a scenario where you would be playing the role of Bob, not Alice, here? Suppose it went down this way: Alice: Say, for the sake of argument, Bob beats his wife. Bob: But I don't beat my wife... Alice: Whether you beat your wife or not is a different question. For purposes of our conversation about consequences you beat your wife. In this scenario Bob understands the implication of logical conclusions but considers the conversation to be a trap.
