US171 17.11.02.1 p4 Define "substitutability" properly #169

@wg21bot

Description

@wg21bot

Substitutability is ill-defined because it circularly depends on “comparison-salient state” and it is itself used to determine the correct return time of comparisons. Comparisons define what is “comparison-salient”, and if f can distinguish between a and b, it must be examining state that the comparison did not consider salient.

Proposed change:
Either clarify the definition of substitutability, or eliminate the distinctions between strong and weak comparisons, which are the only place that definition is used.
