When it comes to boolean logic (truth tables, etc), "but" is "and".
The only difference is one of emphasis/constrast (what
theorbtwo was talking about). For example
1) I went to school and bob went to work.
2) I went to school but bob went to work.
The two statements are logically equivalent,
but
in #2 the writer wishes to emphasize the difference.
