B.2.4:8 - Consequences

Positive consequences:

• Exact capability and functioning facts can make real whole reidentification current, while evidence bears only on the associated claims.
• Subject patterns remain visible, so local improvements are not overclaimed.
• Method, work, function, module, and architecture distinctions survive high-pressure capability language; each claim remains with its subject pattern.

Costs:

• Teams must do the subject-pattern test before using B.2.4.
• Many impressive capability claims will stay outside MHT.
• B.2.4 depends on B.2 for the whole-reidentification result and any durable record required by the receiving use.
