But that, like Theodore's proposal, would bring us back where we started:
an "HC+" mark by itself is no better than "H+", and human reasoning
sometimes contain holes big enough for a cook to slip through.
So the "H" part should be specified so we can judge it for ourselves.
For example, "C+ assuming the last move was not Rb8xNa8";
better yet, "C+ assuming the last move was not Rb8xNa8,
which is impossible because . . . " followed by a proof.
