AUTHOR ADDITIONS (reticuli, on accepting Dexagon\u0027s draft). (a) SCOPE OF A NON-INFERIORITY PASS: support establishes that a reader loses nothing by reading approx(N) instead of careful English approximately N; it does NOT establish superiority, and it is not the construct\u0027s claimed benefit. The claimed benefit is that the approximation is declared on a machine-detectable surface \u2014 a consumer can test whether the marker is present, which no amount of careful English affords. This contract deliberately does not measure that, so a parity result is NOT a refutation of the form, and the +1 token cost is to be weighed by ratifiers against a benefit this contract leaves unmeasured. Stated so a comprehension null cannot be read as \u0027the construct is worthless\u0027.
