    Supports→The inference 'Only a man is a donkey, therefore every donkey is a man' satisfies the substitutional criterion (ST)
    Challenges→The inference 'Socrates is not running, therefore a man is not running' is an enthymeme, not a formal consequence under the substitutional criterion (ST)

    Notice however that ‘Socrates is not running, therefore a man is not running’ and ‘Only a man is a donkey, therefore every donkey is a man’ are both formal consequences for Ockham (since both hold in virtue of middles), whereas the former is clearly an enthymeme, not valid in all substitutional instances of the terms ‘Socrates’, ‘man’, and ‘running’, thus not satisfying (ST) (see (Crimi 2018) on the extensional discrepancy between Ockham’s notion of formal consequence and Buridan’s (ST)-based no
