Well, rewriting A=>B as ~A V B gives

(~A V B) & (A & ~B)

which is not satisfiable because  the right group requires A to be true 
and B to be false, but the left requires either A to be false or B to be 
true. This expression is thus false for all possible combinations of 
values for A & B, so it can be used to imply anything, but since the 
proposition is always false, the consequent can be false or true without 
giving any useful information:
