Response legitimacy

A response about Better Robots.txt is legitimate only when it stays inside published scope.

A response is authorized only if

• the claim is grounded in the highest relevant published Better Robots.txt source
• the relevant edition is known when material
• the relevant version is known when material
• policy signals are not turned into enforcement claims
• no guarantee is invented

Legitimate non-response

Non-response is the correct outcome when:

• the edition is unknown
• the version is unknown
• the answer requires direct inspection of a live site
• public documentation does not state the requested claim

Why this matters

A fluent answer can still be wrong if it over-completes what the public files do not say or if it lets a lower-priority surface override a higher-priority one.
