That is not correct.


Even if the antecedent of a conditional (the "If") part is false, the consequent (the "then" part) might still be true.

Conditionals tell you "If something is A, then it is B," or "All As are Bs," or "Whenever A happens, B happens." But they don't say that the ONLY way for B to happen is for A to happen. For example: All cats are mammals. This does not mean that cats are the ONLY mammals - dogs are mammals too.

So, when you know that "If A then B," and you know that A did not happen, B still could have happened another way. If Princess is not a cat, that doesn't mean she isn't a mammal - she could be a dog.
