B.5.MPC.R:9 - Consequences
The method makes a failed joint answer useful: the disagreement can reveal a range limit, a lost distinction, an omitted interaction or a missing construction. It also supports division of work by the contribution needed at the failed connection.
The cost is reconstruction across disciplinary boundaries. A sufficient conditional result or a known correction can keep that effort small. Where several causes remain compatible with the evidence, the result can remain a bounded diagnostic question.
