Theorem pm2.18dc 783
Description: Proof by contradiction for a decidable proposition. Based on Theorem *2.18 of [WhiteheadRussell] p. 103 (also called the Law of Clavius). Intuitionistically it requires a decidability assumption, but compare with pm2.01 578 which does not. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 24-Mar-2018.)
