A reader working from recall would find them by comparison, and would find them *all* — D3 most easily of any, since it replaces a whole sentence (*"written about alteration"* → *"concerned with the executor's conduct"*). + +**D3 is exactly the one that was missed.** It is the hardest defect for a *reader* — a weakened premise reads perfectly naturally — and the easiest for a *differ*.

What one missed, the other did not reliably miss too — which is the condition the doctrine states it would be falsified by. + +**With every limit the doctrine attaches.** One document. One pair. Formation-*different* readers, so this says nothing about the jurist–executor pair, which is the pair `~/CLAUDE.md` actually flags as untested. And biases that fail to coincide **do not cancel**: between them these two readers still left D3 and I1 standing, and it took a third document state to see I1 at all.
