Actually the way it's been understood before is that all A's are B's,
but not all B's are A's.
For example, all Combat Mages are Mages, but not all Mages are Combat
Mages.
Thus all Gang Leaders are Gangers, but not all Gangers are Gang Leaders.
Thus Torgo is affected by Trogs and the Gang Leader contact as he is a
Ganger. However, LotP differentiates specifically between the Gangers
that are Leaders and the Gangers that aren't.
