TOUGH Conditional Statement- HELP!

People never learn to program a computer by reading poorly written directions.
I take this to mean that the sufficient condition is poorly written directions and the necessary condition is never learning to program a computer.
Reworded as if/then:
If one reads poorly written directions, then they will never learn to program a computer.
Diagrammed:
poorly written directions->~program computer
Am I close?

I'm reading it as
PWD => ~PC
PC => ~PWD
It doesn't say ONLY people who read poorly written directions never learn how to program a computer.
