"by the called routine."
Should that not be "by any code (the caller, the called, or any nested
callee, or any other thread, interrupt or hardware modifying memory)"?
If the value is copied then nothing else can change it since it is only
accessible to the routine itself ? (unless you're doing some really dirty
tricks, obviously)
