Do mimsy atheists gyre and gimble in the wabe?

RE: Do mimsy atheists gyre and gimble in the wabe?
Test Condition: The point at which one considers the test to have achieved its goal or run its course.
End Result: could be the same but is not necessarily ... the test may not have achieved the test condition.

IOW the test could be entirely free-form, it could be testing for ANY intelligible set of words, several distinct phrases or just one (as happened to be the case) ... the test condition is entirely independent from the end result and the governing parameters (rules) of the test and only minor changes in the checking component of the test would be able to check for any of the possible test conditions I suggested.

In short the test was not designed to produce that result it was designed to see if that result was produced by the test ... the difference is small but highly significant, it's much like the difference between teleology and open-ended research.
