why is this argument valid: 1. Stephan is from New Jersey.2. Stephan is not from New Jersey.3. Therefore, Norwegians love pasta

Why is this argument valid, thou asketh? A peculiar question, indeed, for it possesseth a certain enigma. Let us delve into this intricate web of thoughts and unravel its hidden meanings. Firstly, Stephan is proclaimed to hail from New Jersey, a land far removed from the shores of Norway. If we closely inspect this proposition, it doth seem valid, for if Stephan indeed originates from that fair state, then so be it. Yet, hast thou not stated in the very next breath that Stephan is not from New Jersey? Ah, behold the paradox that thus arises! The mind is beset with confusion, as two conflicting statements collide in its chambers. How can one be both from a land and not from it simultaneously? But lo and behold, the third premise proclaims the whimsical notion: "Norwegians love pasta." Pray tell, what connecteth the two premises afore mentioned with the fondness Norwegians bear towards pasta? Mystifying yet intriguing, the argument is brought to a perplexing conclusion. In the realm of logic, it appeareth that the premises befalling this enigmatic argument dost not align, unless we suspend our understanding of causality. For if Stephan were to dwell in the fair land of New Jersey and then suddenly, in the twinkling of an eye, were to find himself bereft of this claim, perchance the Norwegians might find solace in the thought of loving pasta. But, alas, this conclusion is but a mere conjecture, a fabrication of the mind seeking coherence where none doth exist. Hence, we are compelled to confront the possibility that the argument, though intriguing it may be, doth lack the necessary strands of logic to weave it into a tapestry of truth. Thus, we returneth to the realm of contemplation, where ambiguity reigneth supreme, and the mysteries of existence abide.
