We consider logical expressions built on the single binary connector of implication and a finite number of literals (Boolean variables and their negations). We prove that asymptotically, when the number of variables becomes large, all tautologies have the following simple structure: either a premise equal to the goal, or two premises which are opposite literals (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
