Yes and when formal logic diverges from applying truth preserving
operations to premises that are known to be true (sound deductive
inference) on the basis of the semantic relevance that is maintained in
the syllogism:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllogism#Basic_structure
then formal logic errs and diverges from truth.

Logical entailment does not require premises to be true yet still
requires true preserving operations to be applied on the basis of
semantic relevance.
