Contradictions
◎ Likely
(cross-phrasing)
Claim A states arrest on the 15th; Claim B states arrest on the 14th. Same arrest event cannot occur on both dates.
◎ Likely
(cross-phrasing)
A asserts Matlala was funding the Minister's campaign; B says it's premature to claim he was funding the campaign—directly opposed.
◎ Likely
(cross-phrasing)
A asserts we must accept he knew where his wife was; B denies we can accept it as fact—directly opposing claims about same point.
◎ Likely
(cross-phrasing)
Same referent: one says he was seeking assistance, other says he never asked for assistance; cannot both be true.
◎ Likely
(cross-phrasing)
Same entity, same relationship dimension: one denies friendship, other asserts it; cannot both be true.
◎ Likely
(cross-phrasing)
Same entity directly described as both 'not my friend' and 'a friend' — cannot both be true simultaneously.
