One assesses the relationship between the two clauses--
if there is a causal implication it's an ordinary con-
ditional--
If you drink that, you'll get sick. (ordinary)
If a rather 'silly' connection or no connection
at all, it's logical.
If this ocean is called the Atlantic, I'm the
King of Avalon. (logical)
Odd that the most unlogical sounding is the logical
one. This is due to what's known as the 'truth tables,'
which run through true and false statement (sentential
logic). 'Logical' has another meaning ...
Delighted,
