For instance if you say:
"One can always justify a given action by appealing to the value of its outcome"
is this a conditional statement?
Is "Always" a sufficient condition indicator? Forum

Re: Is "Always" a sufficient condition indicator?
Appeal to outcome's value --> justify action.
Rather than relying mechanically on finding "indicators," I would just try to identify the two elements that could be conditional to one another and try to restate their relationship in an if-then form. The sentence is saying that the "appealing" is a surefire way to "justify." So if appeal, then justify.
