18751	Natural language includes connectives like 'because' which are not truth-functional [McGee]
	Full Idea: Natural language includes connectives that are not truth-functional. In order for 'p because q' to be true, both p and q have to be true, but knowing the simpler sentences are true doesn't determine whether the larger sentence is true.
	From: Vann McGee (Logical Consequence [2014], 2)
