In other words, if you say "If I have (a OR b) I do (a OR b)" you're not distinguishing in words whether you're doing a versus b, even if you can only do one of them at any particular time. It could be re-written to be an "else if" but the else-if isn't implied by what was actually said. It also doesn't say "If I have (a XOR b) I do (a XOR b): that phrasing would also work but it can't be reasonably inferred from the actual attempt. -G.
