#23 - Well-intentioned people sometimes attempt to resolve

[Adam Tyson]

I'm not seeing it that way, Dancing. It's just the "unless equation" in action:

If an action based on good intentions is justified, then it results in success.

The sufficient condition is long and involved, but it isn't a conditional statement by itself.

Hi Adam,

Thanks again for you help.

In the LRB, "No robot can think" is considered a conditional. Why is this one in #23 - the sufficient - not considered a conditional on its own? I am stil really struggling with nested conditionals.

Thank you

Hi Dancing,

I'm not sure which sufficient condition in #23 you're referring to, but for more example explainations of nested conditionals check out this forum post: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7992

I think Nikki explains them really well there. If you read that and are still confused, let me know!
