E.12:4.4 - A result-reuse passage examined at equal conditions

The actual E.11.PUR §4.2.1 asks whether an earlier result answers the present concern, using the direct result pattern to compare its EntityOfConcern/edition, question/use, source/dependency conditions and qualification/currentness boundary. It then says: “When those values still match, cite and use the earlier result.” Its following instructions retain any needed A.10 reliance and G.11 currentness account, and reopen the smallest affected result question when a value changes.

For the same task and prerequisites, compare that connected passage with this alternative sentence: “Cite and reuse the earlier result only when its subject and edition, question and use, relied sources and dependencies, and qualification/currentness still answer the present concern.” Keep the surrounding reliance and reopen rules in both versions. This makes the antecedent explicit without relaxing any assurance condition.

An expert walkthrough can recover all four comparison duties from the actual passage’s preceding list; on that basis alone, no change is required. No reader observation or workload measurement is asserted by this example. If an actual initial attempt instead misses the reuse condition, retain that response and examine whether the explicit alternative repairs that miss. If the reader lacks an expressly required subject prerequisite, or the difficult step is deciding whether the source remains applicable, making the sentence shorter does not justify deleting that condition. A second attempt after explaining the list can support only a qualified assisted-reading result. Stop at the demonstrated repair, no-change result or exact limit of that comparison.
