TFT

---- By J. L. S.

"Tit for tat,
butter for fat;
if you kill my dog,
I'll kill your cat."


The problem with conditionals:

p --> q

If you kill my dog, I kill your cat.

-- I want to emphasise the nursery rhyme version of this sometimes obliterated by Axelrod.

As I read in a bazaar:

"If you break it, you bought it"

Why does this conditional strike as _odd_.

"if you kill my dog,...
I kill your cat".

We idea is to try to see this harmlessly enough as a truth-functional 'if'. It has all the appearance of it.

Thus, no inferrability to be 'implicated', because it can be defeated.

So give me your tit anytime!
