What was mentioned in #2 of this being series in relation to the difference between application time and evaluation time is not far from the talk of daily life. Suppose that your friend wants to travel to a place he does not know how to reach. You know that your friend has no access to any other way like some other person with the required knowledge or a GPS system guidance. So ,recognizing what is available, you say to your friend:
A well detailed map, being necessary to reaching your destination, you should buy one before you leave.
Although the part that your friend should buy a map before leaving would still apply whether your friend will travel the next day or the next week or month, the reasoning based on which that suggestion was made was based on what existed at the time that suggestion was made. Therefore it is clearly understood that ,despite that there was no time limit on applying the suggestion to buy a map, whenever what caused the creation of that suggestion seize to exist then that suggestion will also seize to apply. In other words, your statement was equivalent to a more efficient "if" conditional statement that lists all the things that ,in combination or individually, led to the creation of that suggestion or the absence of the things that could have eliminated the need for making that suggestion.
