The word "IS" in LR

hotranchsauce

I recall seeing in the CC that "IS" is a conditionality signifier (necessary). However, is that the case all the time? Is "IS" a biconditional when it's just something like "The number 5 is hot ?

To do it that way, you'd need to say something like "is the only thing that is hot".

The number 5 is hot

gives you "5 → hot", but not "hot → 5"
