tamf Named by Ray Jennings. Is often found in elementary logic texts "whose authors are desperate for a convincing example of an ‘exclusive “or�?’ (either p or q, but not both). Numerous writers offer examples such as the following. A parent says to a child, ‘You may have pie or cake if you eat your vegetables’. In fact, the consequent of this conditional is not any kind of disjunction."
