MIT on Counterfactuals and Counterfactual Fallacies
Counterfactuals and truth on/according to Triple Canopy:
Much as the actual untruth of the proposition is irrelevant to the conclusions drawn in the result clause, so the truth of the crime (in name only) hardly matters by the time we come to the end of the sentence. Though out of time, the if clause sets in motion a provisional series of events. Something appears from what is now not not not the case—or, rather, from what was not not written.
