Hi Michael,

Okay, final mail I'm sending about this:

>1. miz3's "by" is designed (i.e., someone intentionally
>chose to do this) with a time limit.

Well, the time limit even is there if you put a tactic there
yourself.  So I would distinguish between the default "by"
prover, and the time limit thing.  But apart from that: yes.

>2. The time limit means that miz3's "by" proves fewer
>goals than it might without the time limit.

Yes.  Although in practice it won't be so different.
A justification failing because of the time limit is rare.
Generally it means that it just doesn't hold.

>3. A system A that proves fewer things than system B is a
>"weaker" system than B.

Yes!

>4. So, miz3 is intentionally weakened.

There's no flaw in your logic :-)  I fully agree.
