E.17.EFP:4.5.b. Loss and reliability rule

A published form states material omission, reordering, simplification or connection. An omission that removes information required by the declared use blocks that use even when the remaining text is true. When the form instead asserts changed content, identify its exact target and establish the claimed source-to-target relation under A.6.3 or another applicable pattern. An EFP label supplies neither missing content nor that relation. Reliability is never silently widened by more persuasive prose.

When a concrete reader-fit difference is load-bearing, expose only enough of its bounded use or overread risk to prevent the actual didactic or contrastive form from being mistaken for assurance, policy, or gate guidance.
