| One case that seems like the ones I have taken as bare conditionals but that does not seem to work well, "I am a novelist" in the sense "I write novels." Not writing novels does not (by itself) count against the claim, but explaining the test has so far escaped me. The "it doesn't matter which" sort does not seem to apply in the same way. Any novel I write will solidify my claim, of course, but "If I write any novel, then I write it" does not seem to be quite what is wanted. This is, then, perhaps a case of the kind where something else is needed. |
