by conditionalizing all our theorems we omit to mention the existence of the structure in question, and therefore have work to do if we are to explain the applicability of the the- ory: the domain of any interpretation in which the axioms of arithmetic are true is infinite, and yet we confidently apply arithmetical theorems within the finite domain of our immediate experience without troubling to embed it in such an infinite domain as implicationism would require us to do. Implica- tionism seems capable, therefore, of being at best only part of the explanation of these classical cases
