lucky - can you clarify for me what you mean by 'treating "animal" as referring to the same entity'? Seems to me that's the opposite of what he's doing, restricting one to 'corporeal' and the other to include 'conceptual'.

It's the mixed uses that cause the problem in the first place, if it meant the same in the 1st premise as the 2nd the 1st would be 'some horned animals are unicorns' and there'd be no problem.
