"iff" in this context means "if and only if". "We do X iff Y" is a much stronger statement than merely "We do X if Y." The former implies "Any time you see X, it's because Y." The latter doesn't imply that; it permits that maybe sometimes X happens without Y's having happened first. |

Hello.
If that was not the typos at the comment sections I assume that was using of biconditional logical connective that probably not necessary in that cases.
Proposed to replace it with 'if'.
Thank you.
P.S.
There is a place in third-party section but that is a git sub-module so not changed it via this request.
