Lemma. An omitted constraint cannot affect a summary-only decision [ftip-00CT]

Let \(b:\mathcal A_{\rm res}\to \{0,1\}\) be a constraint bit. If there exist \(A\sim _C A'\) with \(b(A)\neq b(A')\), then no decision rule that factors only through \(C\) can condition its output law on the value of \(b\) for both archives.
