Warning: low flying propositional logic. It's something that is commonly

Let's take it from here. My assertion was that people own blenders for more
than just whipped cream. In other words, I claim that people use blenders
also for other things.
Given the article's claim that there is "whipped cream shortage" and how
implication ("if..then..") works, you basically say that my assertion is
invalid, meaning that people only use blenders for whipped cream.
Now go back and rethink what your stance is and how to convey it, because you
surely didn't mean that.
