Can you elaborate on how you derived this principle?

I think Rob captured well, which is there's a tension here - particularly
in the case when the domain holder signals that the CA misissued - as to
how to assess the impact and/or take corrective measure. There's a blurry
line here between what's technically required versus what is addressed by
policy external to the technology. So I think it'd be useful to understand
how this one was derived.
