There is an implication statement being made.
p = I think I am smarter than my doctor
q = All here thinks himself smarter than
his doctor.Statement p -> q.
To proove false, simply disprove contrapositive arguement.
Ie show. Not q -/-> Not p
Where not q, is shown by the existence of a memeber that doesn't think himself smarter than his doctor. Yet dispite this, p still holds.
Hence we have shown.
Not q -/-> Not p
Which implies
p -/-> q
