Sorites

The idea

A sorites is a chain of syllogisms with intermediate conclusions left unstated.

In practice

All A are B; all B are C; all C are D; ∴ all A are D — two syllogisms compressed into one breath.

Where people slip

Test it link by link. One bad link fails the chain, no matter how sound the rest.
