The validity of inference lies in its precluding an imposition that has [actually] occurred, not merely in precluding the object of [some possible] imposition, since [in that case] memory too would [absurdly] be valid. And in the case of the conceptual cognition "the white cow is moving" which follows immediately after perception, there is no preclusion of an actually occurred imposition.
