Prove which information a probability calculation may use, and bound every admissible strategy in a finite reveal process.

Does pairwise independence establish independence from an entire pair?
An observation can reveal a relationship that neither coordinate reveals alone.
Compare reasoning and find a refresher
No. The complete joint law must factor against the pair. Separate marginal product identities do not imply that stronger factorization.
Does an adaptive reveal leave the original color proportions unchanged?
The strategy proof must cover every possible remaining composition.
Compare reasoning and find a refresher
No. Revealing a skipped token changes the remaining counts. Conditional on the revealed prefix, the remaining order is uniform, but its success fraction must be recomputed.
