Full Idea
The traditional crucial assumption is that logical necessity is the strongest notion of necessity. If it is logically necessary that p, then it is necessary that p in any other use of the notion of necessity there may be (physically, practically etc.).
Gist of Idea
Traditionally, logical necessity is the strongest, and entails any other necessities
