In the pluscal manual, it is stated that,

Strong fairness of (action) A is stronger than (implies) weak fairness of A. In other words, if SFvars (A) is true of a behavior σ, then WFvars (A) is also true of σ


Strong fairness is a relaxation of weak fairness as it only requires an action to be *indefinitely* enabled instead of *continuously* enabled, so why will SF(A) => WF(A) ?

For any properties F, G, and H, if F is stronger than (implies) G, then G => F is stronger than F => H.

That should certainly be: if F is stronger than (implies) G, then G => H is stronger than F => H.
