A 'tautology' must include connectives [Wolf,RS]
     Full Idea: 'For every number x, x = x' is not a tautology, because it includes no connectives.

Deduction Theorem: T∪{P}|-Q, then T|-(P→Q), which justifies Conditional Proof [Wolf,RS]
     Full Idea: Deduction Theorem: If T ∪ {P} |- Q, then T |- (P → Q). This is the formal justification of the method of conditional proof (CPP). Its converse holds, and is essentially modus ponens.
