Argh! That did not work either.
In what way did it not work?

Think of it this way. Imagine you're driving down the road in a town. Ahead of you is a traffic light. Further ahead is a train crossing. Beyond that is where you want to go. If the traffic light is red, you can't get across. If there is a train, you can't get across. The traffic light does not determine the presence of a train. Nor does the presence of a train determine what color the traffic light will be. But unless
both the light is green
and there is no train, you can't get across. See?
