I don't think we can promise to come up with a definitely conclusion
for any proprietary system, can we ?  Answering such a question for
Windows is not within our power because we don't have the source code.

The question, which the above text leaves unclear, is, what do we do
if we aren't sure whether there are configurations of Windows which
have the exposed behaviour.
