Pour éviter toute situation où l'on serait conduit à faire une supposition, il est possible d'établir une condition de non-supposition entre le professeur et l'élève. P. ex., si le professeur apprend qu'un élève utilise la procédure W, il s'efforcera d'éviter la présence de plusieurs différences dans chaque presque-instance. Sachant que le professeur procède ainsi, l'élève peut être assuré que la différence unique trouvée est importante. De telles conventions sont appelées des conditions de félicité. 1, record 1, French, - condition%20de%20f%C3%A9licit%C3%A9
