Is there a direct logical conflict between the premise and the hypothesis? Premise: W has illustrations (better than those in the Third Unabridged ); L has none, but it must be noted that other British dictionaries lack them also, so L need not have included them purely for competitive reasons in the main market it is intended to serve. Hypothesis: It would have been necessary to include illustrations in order to compete in the dictionary market
