Statement

The claim asserts that an ask she cannot understand within the bound leaves the matter short. The declaration certifies it on a calm exterior: every exercise with a correction costs at least the comprehension cost, which exceeds the bound, so the required resolution is not reached. The gap: the calm-exterior hypothesis, which the claim's wording does not carry; and comprehension cost as a number in the cost table, not a measured quantity.
