ME.12:2 - Problem

Coherence checks often collapse several questions. Construction conformance is treated as document completeness; description consistency is treated as practical fit; a failed representation is repaired by changing Method semantics; a stale support edition is called a Method defect; or one trial success is taken to verify the whole package.

This makes correction expensive and unsafe. Several maintained results are changed together, the original contradiction becomes unrecoverable, unaffected claims lose their evidence status, and later fit or worth decisions inherit a verdict that ME.12 never established.
