E.15:2 - Problem

Two failure modes pull pattern change in opposite directions.

  • A quick patch can preserve the visible sentence while losing a predecessor idea, changing a direct consumer, or leaving an old instruction elsewhere.
  • A safety-minded author can turn a small repair into a full search, scoring, evidence, and publication programme whose records cost more than the decision and still do not prove that the chosen text is better.

Labels do not solve the problem. Calling an edit “lexical”, “minor”, “refresh”, or “refactor” does not say whether practitioner entry, inputs, action, conditions, result, ontology, or assurance changed. A version number communicates an already made compatibility judgment; it does not make that judgment true.
