2945 found that "change" includes "remove", but is silent on whether
it includes "add".  You're changing the entity, but can you be said
to "change" a value if there was no previous value?  (Admittedly my
interpretation is not obviously correct, hence the fix proposal.)

(Note:  I botched the statement of 2945; it should have been "Removing
counts as 'changing', thus cannot be done etc." in which case your
same argument would have led to TRUE.)
