Abstract
Justin Khoo [2022. The Meaning of If. Oxford: Oxford University Press.] presents a novel theory of conditionals designed to solve two prominent puzzles for conditionals, the so-called ‘bounding puzzles’. One component of Khoo's solution is to propose a new update rule for learning conditionals that allows for violations of classical conditionalization. In this paper, I will defend classical conditionalization. My proposal is that one can achieve a similar effect as Khoo's new update rule by putting to work the epistemic norms that govern assertion and belief.
