 Guided by Boolos’ firm hand, logic students drive a second stake into the heart of the induction step (the entailment of preposterous conditionals). Yet the paradox seems far from dead. The hitch is that death for the induction step is life for its negation. The negation of the second premise classically implies a sharp threshold for childhood. For the falsehood of the induction step implies the existential generalization that there is a number \(n\) such that an \(n\) day old human being is a child but is no longer a child one day later.
