As Sun Tzu said, when you are strong, appear weak.

  Besides the strong (when they are expertly deploying an elaborate ruse), you know who else often appears weak? The weak.

    So if someone appears "strong", does that mean they are also "weak"? "Strong" → "Appears Weak" "Weak" → "Appears Weak" ⊕ "Feigns strength" Everyone is "weak" ∨ "appears weak"? Is "appearance of strength" ∧ "strong" valid in this meta? I need someone's help with the logic. I'm a bit rusty. I think it's just an implication, so it is valid to "appear strong" ∧ "be strong" I'm also curious about the distribution here. I'm also just now noticing how weird the word strong is. It's possible that this is the reason: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_satiation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_satiation

      Yeah unfortunately the conjunctions just aren't commutative in the game of strongy-weaky.
