Fr. William A. Wallace, O.P., in "Thomism and the Quantum Enigma," The Thomist 61 (1997): 455–468, claims that
Quoteanalogical middle terms are sufficient for a valid demonstration
and that this is
Quotea teaching that is distinctive of Thomism
that other Scholastic schools do not uphold.

How do Thomists justify that "analogical middle terms are sufficient for a valid demonstration"?
