6884	Counterfactuals say 'If it had been, or were, p, then it would be q' [Mautner]

6882	Counterfactuals presuppose a belief (or a fact) that the condition is false [Mautner]

6886	Counterfactuals are not true, they are merely valid [Mautner]

6885	Counterfactuals are true if in every world close to actual where p is the case, q is also the case [Mautner]
