I need a logic opinion. Law A states that only apples are allowed in the bowl. Law B said that only apples and oranges are allowed in the same bowl as referred to Law A. Both laws are equal in terms of precedence. Should oranges be allowed in the bowl?

I agree with BackRow.
LawA: ONLY apples are allowed in the bowl
LawB: ONLY apples AND oranges are allowed in the bowl
We tentatively assume that, as LawA and LawB have separate names and no additional information is provided, each law does not supersede the other.
If LawA and LawB are in effect, then:
(ONLY apples are allowed in the bowl) AND (ONLY apples and oranges are allowed in the bowl)
= ONLY apples are allowed in the bowl (by absorption law)
= LawA
As we now know that LawA encompasses all of LawB, we can conclude that LawB has no purpose whatsoever UNLESS LawA is removed. Thus, either LawA is an update to LawB, or someone who doesn't know about LawA has made a pointless law that does absolutely nothing.

If anyone was curious why I asked, I was trying to figure out how to use multiple ShopRite Coupons at once.
