Hi @cheynnelee,

Thanks for the question! There’s not really conditional logic being used here, so I wouldn’t diagram it like that. What you’re diagramming says something like “if it’s not comfortable, then it’s for the sake of appearance.” And that’s not really what’s going on in the stimulus.

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
