Quote:The statement itself suggests that there is a situation in which the pick would not be Dave's guy.


So saying "if Dave believes in him, then im ok with it" is pointless since there is no 'if'. Whoever he picks im sure he believes in. It makes more sense if you just admit that whoever he picks you will be on board with


I just see alot of that, "I dont want him at 3, but if its dave's guy then its cool."

Again, your misunderstanding of the qualifier "if" is quite baffling.

 

Dave may pick him, he may not.  That's where "IF" factors in.

 

IF he selects him, then that means Dave likes him.

 

IF he doesn't select him, then that means Dave likes someone better.

 

So, it's logical that IF he's selected by Dave, then Dave may be given the benefit of the doubt even though you may not like the pick.  That's perfectly logical.  However, I'm still not following your logic in protesting "if".  That's the kind of qualifier people use when something is not certain to happen.
