    It is not the case that If D's disjuncts are enumerated extensionally rather than derived from E's intension, D and E can diverge in counterfactual scenarios, defeating entailment.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.If D is true in the actual world, D entails itself there; counterfactual divergence doesn't defeat local entailment at the base case.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Intensional definitions can also diverge counterfactually if their source property E shifts meaning or application across possible worlds.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The claim conflates metaphysical grounding with logical entailment; extensional truth-conditions suffice for valid inference within any world.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Extensional enumeration fixes a disjunction to actual members only, lacking modal resources to track which disjuncts remain possible elsewhere.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Intensional derivation grounds disjuncts in properties that persist across possible worlds, preserving entailment relations counterfactually.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Cases exist where actual disjuncts become impossible and new ones necessary in counterfactuals, breaking extensionally-defined entailments.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
