ME.12:10 - Rationale
Method construction, description, representation, support, and trial evidence are coupled by use but are not interchangeable. Their claims can agree, disagree, or become stale independently. Returning each correction to one maintained owner protects that independence and keeps coherence separate from Method admission and effectiveness assessment.
The same evidence may support several checks, but its use relation is different in each. Treating evidence as a common source rather than a common verdict lets later fit and worth decisions reuse it without inheriting ME.12’s scope.
