RMP.6:9 - Consequences

Credibility work becomes a contribution to a stated claim rather than a ritual sequence. Useful existing results can finish the question; newly obtainable comparisons can justify further work. Access failures, discrepancies and uncertainty remain interpretable instead of being converted into blanket verdicts.

The cost is judgement about the comparison, disciplinary criteria and full arrangement. Some tests remain unavailable, and some attractive claims remain unsupported. A qualified completion makes that boundary usable without removing an authority’s legitimate requirement.
