Reasoning

Hello guys

Could you please tell me if this sentence makes sense?

'There is no reason to believe that if the most prominent politicians and the best poets and novelists graduate from schools of politics and literature respectively, the best philosophers would definitely graduate from schools of philosophy.'

Thanks in advance

Hi, Could you please tell me if this sentence makes sense? ' I wouldn't call it wrong, but I'd prefer 'because' to 'if'. And I'd remove 'would'.

  • ' I wouldn't call it wrong, but I'd prefer 'because' to 'if'.
  • And I'd remove 'would'.
  • The sentence seems to deal with the real world rather than the hypothetical or unreal.
