What may be learnt and when depends on how skills
and concepts are developed. Making the hard easier and clearer will allow
earlier & richer development of skills and concepts.

Converses for One-Way Implications, Chapter 21,
part IV
Previous: Chapter 21, part III, Occurrence
Table for Two-Way Implications
A Definition
The converse to the implication rule if A then B is
the rule if B then A. Note that interchanging the first and second
situation A and B yields the converse to a rule. From this
definition or perspective, we see that the converse of the converse is the
original rule. Check this.
When we know a rule if A then B is never disobeyed, we
have no guarantee that the converse rule if B then A is never disobeyed.
The reason for this is as follows. The rule if A then B is true if the
situation A never occurs without the situation B. The converse rule if B then
A is true if the situation B cannot occur without the situation A.
Reminder. Now we can easily answer the following
question: What can we say for sure about the event A when (i) the rule if A
then B is never disobeyed, and (ii) the event B occurs? Your answer should
be not much, or nothing, without further information.
