CMP.5:6 - Bias-Annotation

An elegant relaxed formulation can redirect effort toward solving the surrogate problem ever better while original feasibility remains unresolved. Keep the recipient’s candidate or decision in view when choosing solver effort and recovery.

The word “bound” can also conceal a direction error. A convenient relaxed candidate is informative, but its objective value carries only the inequalities actually established. Calling a result approximate does not remove the need to state which conclusion the approximation supports.
