Well, with further thought, I was beginning to wonder if I missed something, because "p implies q" can't be true for all values of p and q. If (p implies q) is true for selected values of p and q, p need not necessarily be true for q to be. Conversely, even if p and q are true, it does not always follow that p implies q - there may be no causal connection. "I have 10 fingers" and "I like pizza" are both true, but neither implies the other.
Maybe the professor accidentally skipped over a paragraph or two of lecture notes today.
