Those 2 are totally unrelated questions (##1 & 2), I just happen to be curious about the answers to both of them. That bold quote #2 doesn't conclude from the first one at all, I agree.

If the answer to question #1 is yes, then
and Those 2 are totally unrelated questions (##1 & 2)
now your logic is totally beyond my comprehension.
