I know that doesn't accurately respond to what you said; I just wanted to demonstrate that A and B are placeholders for phrases instead of propositions or whatever. So are you saying it's still weird if you use actual phrases? "Just because you have a million dollars doesn't mean you'll always be happy," is weird to you? --- man - noun.

I know that doesn't accurately respond to what you said; I just wanted to demonstrate that A and B are placeholders for phrases instead of propositions or whatever. Its basic logic. If you think its foolish or incorrect I assure you its not. Id prove it to you but you would find that foolish and incorrect as well. --- Moustache twirling villain https://i.imgur.com/U3lt3H4.jpg- Kerbey <cite>divot1338 posted [p:980344883] in "Just beca...

"Just because you have a million dollars doesn't mean you'll always be happy," is weird to you? Yeah. I'm sure there's some syntactic thing going on but it just intuitively feels weird for a "just because" to lead into a "doesn't mean." I forget all the names for these things but maybe it's like a dependent clause ("just because you have a million dollars") is being treated as a noun, or something. I dunno, I just know if you slow down and think about it, it's kinda weird. --- There's a difference between canon and not-stupid. <cite>RetuenOfDevsman posted [p:980344926] in "Just beca...
