does this still hold that B or C in A->B or C are jointly necessary?
@SaraMoreno let's say if it's a Friday, I'm going out or I'm going to bed early
F -> Out OR Early
if we split the arrow:
F -> going out
F -> going to bed early
this is incorrect, because it's saying if it's a Friday, both of those things MUST be true, whereas what the sentence is saying is it's one or the other
There could be a scenario where both could be true, let's say I go out early so I come home early. But it's a possibility and not a certainty, so that's why they're jointly necessary
@Brian Garrison here, "the only" has a different contextual context than "only"
"the only" is sufficient because it's not introducing a requirement, but rather a trigger
example:
only people who eat their vegetables get their icecream: here eating vegetables is a necessary requirement for getting your icecream
get icecream -> eat veggies
the only people who eat their vegetables get their icecream: here, people who eat vegetables is the sufficient trigger for getting vegetables, but there are other possible ways for you to get icecream
eat veggies -> get icecream
is there a lesson to refer back to on why we can't conclude "some" relationships from two sufficient arrows?
