So i agree in general, but i don't think i agree with fine print.

What if i don't want to validate the whole entirety of the instructions,
but only one of these instructions that is `Measurable through another instruction`?
I simply can't?

I agree with the general direction of `to fully characterize or check a processor.`,
but i'm not fully sure yet how that will be used/useful for actual schedule profiles.

I guess it's also a question  of "is already useful and getting useful every day"
vs. "useful and will be more useful some time in the future",
i.e. the rate of improvement.

Just 2 cent.
