Question:"Dual" command in Logic package

Dear all,

I do not understand the output of the "Dual" command in the Logic package.

According to the help:

"The Dual command returns the dual of the Boolean expression b, that is, the expression generated by replacing &and with &or, &or with &and, leaving &not fixed, and extending to the remaining Boolean operators by their formulas in terms of &and, &or, and &not."

Applying Dual to "a &implies b" gives:
  `Logic:-&implies`(`&not`(a), `&not`(b))

But "a &implies b" is equivalent to "&not(a) &or b" and its Dual would be "&not(a) &and b", which is not equivalent to the result Maple returns.

Best regards,
 Anthei
