I'm curious why you thought you needed to tell me this.
What have I said which indicates that I don't understand it, or believe otherwise?
Did you continue to read on? The point is that natural laws (for example, of causation) are an underpinning of the notion of dependence.
Put another way, what does the concept of dependence (and thereby the notion of contingency) depend upon?
