Ok... let's try it with the logical implication. "Marion" wrote:

"All other things being equal, a phone without the sd card slot can't do
what the phone with the sd card slot can do."

This means:

1) All other things being equal
2) a phone without the sd card slot
3) can't do what the phone with the sd card slot can do.

Wenn comparing two phones which are otherwise equal, we can reduce this
to that:

1) a phone without the sd card slot
2) can't do what the phone with the sd card slot can do.

Since there is no exact definition, what "can't do" means, this has to
be read as:

1) a phone without the sd card slot
2) can't do *anything* what the phone with the sd card slot can do.

And this is wrong, since the sd card slot is not required for the basic
operation of a phone.
