Science - Mathematics & Statistics / Literary context | | English term or phrase: one-way implication | You can’t get to know someone by shoving a finger up their nose. But if someone shoves their finger up your nose, you learn some things about them. It’s called a **one- way implication**. We studied it in Math.
As you can see, it is used here as a metaphor :)
I found "implication unilatérale", but I'm not sure about it (and don't know much about maths)
Thanks for your help |

| | implication unilatérale | Explanation:
Si le débat est autour de l'adjectif, je propose celui-ci. Il faut apparemment être redondant comme dans le texte à traduire, pour éviter toute confusion.

| Grading comment Merci à tous pour vos propositions.
J'ai beaucoup hésité entre "unilatérale" et "sans équivalence”, mais dans mon contexte, "unilatérale" me paraît plus parlant.
Pardon aux matheux !

Explanation:
We mathheads call it une implication, and the technical specificity is une implication logique.
You really can do without the logique, though.
