CMP.9:9 - Consequences

An expensive enumeration can be replaced by a controlled random computation, and a sample can be maintained despite limited access or storage. The same derivation exposes a wrong target before more computation reinforces it.

A valid construction can still be inefficient. Support, weight variability, mixing and evaluation cost identify different routes to improvement; they do not all yield to a larger sample count.
