This still won't solve the incompatibility. The only way for the ASSA
to apply to just the "current" OM is if there is no TIME. If there is
no TIME, then the RSSA makes no sense (most people in the ASSA camp
take this point of view). If there is TIME, then the ASSA must apply
to all OMs, including future ones. The predicted outcomes differ from
that of the RSSA just as we've discussed before.
