 The best model of \(l \wedge f\) is \(M_3\) since it doesn’t violate any conditional assertion of rank higher than 0, while all other models of \(l \wedge f\) do. For the same reason \(M_7\) is the best model of \(l \wedge \neg f\). Moreover, \(M_3\) violates less conditional assertions of rank 0 than \(M_7\) and is thus the preferred interpretation. Hence, \(l \nc f\) is in the Lexicographic Closure. Altogether, what avoids the drowning problem in Lehmann’s approach is a combination between specificity handling and a quantitative rationale according to which interpretations are preferred that violate less conditionals.
