Yes Ronk, I prefer to use the terms 'conjugate link' and 'unconditional link' instead of 'strong link' and 'weak link', respectively.

When the underlying logic is the conditional 'if this .... then that', to then (pun intended) have a link termed unconditional is confusing to me.
You are right, it's confusing when you consider the implications as the set elements.
When I said conjugate link was a subset of unconditional link, the set elements are the number of candidates in a unit, hence
Conjugate link = {exactly 2}
this is what I consider as conditional because the number of candidate has to be exactly 2Unconditional link = {exactly 2, 3, 4,5,......}
In terms of implications:
Unconditional link implies
If A true, then B false.
Conjugate link implies
If A false, then B true as well as
If A true, then B false,
since a unit with exactly 2 candidates can be a conjugate link as well as an unconditional link.
