If an egret is a bird and a heron is a bird, then an egret can be a heron, but is not necessarily a heron according to the proposition. Therefore, A can be B. Check "Philosophy for Dummies," I’m sure it will agree. As for "believe hopefully," I know it sounds silly to believe and hope at the same time, almost contradictory, like lying to instill trust, like telling his Alzheimer’s wife he’s going to the store, when he’s really going to meet a woman for a few hours of understanding and conversation to ease his mind and relieve his nerves from incessant nagging.
