Not wrong. Clear thinking is the basis of a healthy mind. Reminds me of Markus Aurelius.

I observe my son, still pretty young learned concepts and ideas from the if then statement. He's not yet learned of myths and metaphors but, the if then allowed him to learn meaning.

And I would tell him stories with morals, made up, so he can understand the cause and effect of things. He would then make it simple to an if then statement.

It's probably not wrong to say, we need the if then logic for meaning and language and clarity.
