Just in you were wondering:

In classical logic "true implies false" implies "false implies true", but not conversely.

@johncarlosbaez The symbol => is used by different people to mean either

-> (material implication, a logical connective)

or

|= (semantic entailment, "true in every model")

I understand you intend it the first sense, like in the 1st line in attached image. However, I was taught to use => in the second sense so I can't help to try to interpreted that way. I think that sort of works too---the 2nd and 3rd line in the image, with the middle => interpreted as the mathematicians' informal "if ... then".
