Why the Conditional's Table Looks Wrong
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Read p ⊃ q as a promise: it's broken only when p happens and q doesn't. An untriggered promise isn't a broken one.
Show
"If you mow the lawn, I'll pay you $20." You never mow. Did I lie? No — the conditional stands.
Watch for
The material conditional is the minimal truth-functional "if." English "if" sometimes carries more; the table carries exactly this.
