Then I mentioned that I thought a standard response to the 'tonk' example was to say that 'tonk,' unlike the good connectives, failed to express a truth-function.
My impression is that discussions of 'tonk' have proceeded without awareness of the local reduction property, an impression that is reinforced by the fact that a google search for "local reduction" and "tonk" returns just a single hit - a multiple-choice geography exam for the Indian Civil Services.
But (as you may have realised already,) the rules for 'tonk' are not the same as the rules for the conditional.

 Honky Tonk by Henry Horenstein
For several decades, honky tonks were a haven where a band could learn and hone its skills, try out new material, play old songs that radio didn’t program anymore, and essentially learn to put on a show.
Honky tonks were a tremendous training ground for a band that could learn when to get out of this environment and move up the ladder to work in better places that offered more money.
However, the rigors of the road—in many cases a lifelong unhealthy diet of foods high in cholesterol and saturated fat, often coupled with addiction to tobacco and sometimes alcohol, along with family problems, and business pressures—all contributed to the aging process, sadly, not always in a graceful manner.

Caring for Tonkinese is as easy as feeding a well-balanced feline diet, clipping their nails weekly (providing a scratching post and insisting they use it is also imperative), using a rubber brush to groom them, and of course the all important visit to the vet for check-ups and inoculations.
