Dear all,
THe CRM is in its basic nature retrospective. That is, it models events
that has happened seen from the current point in time. The final
paragrpahp of the scope note for the property P20 is not consistent with
this view. If the bank (in the example) does not succeed in its take
over plan because it goes bankrupt before the take over event should
have taken place, then that event will never happen and will not exist.
Thus P20 actually implies that an activity succeeds in it achieving its
aims.

P20 had specific purpose (was purpose of)
Domain: E7 Activity
Range: E7 Activity
Quantification: many to many (0,n:0,n)
Scope Note: This property describes the relationship between an E7
Activity and an activity that it is intended as a preparation for.
This may involve activities in preparation for other activities, or
orders and other organisational activities, which lead to some other
specific activity.
P20 had specific purpose (was purpose of) does not imply that an
activity succeeded in achieving its aims. For example, dubious
accounting practices may be carried out with the specific purpose of
enhancing share values and enabling a take-over bid. The specific
purpose remains the same even if the strategy fails and the company goes
bankrupt instead.
