In order to avoid believing an argument is valid we have to understand what “no” means and that there is not just one way to use it.
“No” means “not even one,” “every single one is not.”
For example: Being a person with a Mac laptop I can say, “No Mac has a pear symbol. “ or “All Macs do not have a pear symbol,” or “Not even one Mac has a pear symbol.” or “Nothing that’s a Mac has a pear symbol.”
Being a person with a Honda, I can say, “No Civic has a Dodge symbol,” or “All Hondas do not have a Dodge symbol,” or “Not even one Honda has a Dodge symbol,” or “Nothing that’s a Honda has a Dodge symbol.”
Being a person with a Samsung TV I can say, “No Samsung TV has a Sony symbol,” or “All Samsungs do not have a Sony symbol,” or “Not even one Samsung has a Sony symbol,” or “Nothing that’s a Samsung has a Sony symbol.”
