  Ford (2004) pointed out that the order of strict and defeasible links in arguments matters. For instance, she argues that an argument of the form \(A \rightarrow B \Rightarrow D\) may be stronger than an argument of the form \(A \Rightarrow C \not\rightarrow D\) (where \(A \rightarrow B\) reads “Most As are Bs” and \(A \Rightarrow C\) reads “All As are Cs.”). The reason is that in the former case it is not possible that no A is a D while in the second case it is possible that no A is a not-D. This is illustrated in the following figure:
