---- for the GC
GRICE noted that 'if' is a very useful operator. He proposed a mock trial:
--- Cock Robin was killed.
---- The question: 'who'?
---
Well, if it wasn't the Robin, it was the Wren. Right?
Right. For it either was the Robin OR the Wrent.
---- Whereas 'or' looks for contigency planning, 'if' answers interrogative subordination in pis aller sequences. Or something. --- And then there's the Mad Hatter.
