"Because" with Sufficient & Necessary?

Hi Team! I had a question about the use of the word "because" when dealing with sufficient and necessary conditions. "Because is a relatively common word and it does seem to invoke some kind of condition when people use it. The question then is would the word "because" invoke the sufficient condition or would it invoke the necessary condition? Thank-you, Gunnar

@Gunnar "because" is not Sufficient & Necessary terminology.

"Because" introduces a premise.

Hope that helps! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
