ForceTension
Truthful support and useful continuationThe present evidence may support a narrower answer than the requested one; scarce resources do not strengthen that evidence.
Inquiry and commitmentInformation or computation can improve a choice, while delay, opportunity cost and investigation risk can worsen it.
Requirement merits and present forceA requirement may deserve revision while continuing to constrain what the recipient can presently do.
Immediate and later valueOperational action, explanatory progress, better models and future options can all matter at different horizons.
Protective contribution and distributed burdenA cheap measure for the issuer can be costly for its recipient or shift risk to another affected party.
Useful basis and unnecessary accountingA decision needs its supporting basis; a record of an inactive check needs an actual receiving use.
