Proof by reductio:
1. Assume I am R but am not S. 2. That is, I = R, and I S (where "=" means "is literally the same thing as") 3. My relation to S is the same as my relation to R. 4. So, if I = R, then I = S. 5. So, I = S (by 4 and the first conjunct of 2 via modus ponens) 6. But, 5 contradicts the second conjunct of 2! 7. Hence, it is not the case that I am R but am not S. (by reductio from 1-6)
Switch the letters "R" and "S" in the above proof, and it proves that it is not the case that I am S but am not R.
Together these are proof of premise 3 of the overall argument.
