The author proposes that the identity of conditional probability and the probability of a conditional can be saved, even for alleged counterexamples, by offering a deviant reading of the conditional probability according to which it is preceded by an abductive inference. The difference between the two readings of the conditional, according to the author, is ``systematic and predictable.''
