 It is unclear, however, that all alleged cases of context-dependence can be dealt with in this manner. Suzy’s theft of the coconut cake from the shop caused her subsequent illness: having bought the cake, she ate it – but (as she soon discovered) she’s allergic to coconut. Or did it? It depends, it would seem, on what we contrast her theft of the coconut cake with. If she’d left the shop empty-handed – or stolen a Bath bun instead – she wouldn’t have been ill. But if she’d paid for the cake instead of stealing it, she still would have been ill. We sometimes mark the intended contrast by, for example, stress: Suzy’s theft of the coconut cake caused her illness, but her theft of the coconut cake didn’t.
