Definition 8:​

“Every {singular noun 1} is a/an {singular noun 2} or a/an {singular noun 3}”
conflicts with
“{proper noun} is a/an {singular noun 2} and a/an {singular noun 3}"

​“Every {singular noun 1} is a/an {singular noun 2} or a/an {singular noun 3}”
and
“{proper noun} is a/an {singular noun 1}”

“{proper noun} is a/an {singular noun 2} or a/an {singular noun 3}”

​“{proper noun} is a/an {singular noun 2} or a/an {singular noun 3}”
equals to
“Is {proper noun} a/an {singular noun 2} or a/an {singular noun 3}?”
