 Nor would it do to make the unpronounced modal operator in bare conditionals “probably”; for one can be certain that it is probable that if \(A, C\), without being certain that if \(A, C\). This point is made in more detail by Edgington (1995, pp. 292–3). Thus, while the restrictor view has some plausibility, its treatment of the “bare conditional” as a modalised proposition is problematic.
