在这个哑炮中，我们探索候选人省略约束为基础的语法生成的后果。原则上，输入形式i的候选集是给定生成函数Gen的Gen（i）的范围（参见Prince and Smolensky 1993：17）。然而，在实践中，分析往往只涉及被认为相关的少数候选人。这种做法的后果是这个哑炮的焦点。无论是由于疏忽还是由于原则上的疏忽，都很容易出现一系列缺陷，因为在某些情况下，即使分析可能包括观察到的/预期的最佳沿着一系列可行的竞争对手，仍然有可能由于遗漏了一个候选人而得出关于语言和类型学的错误推论。除了发现一个被遗漏的竞争对手，因为它比预期/观察到的形式更和谐，而破坏了当前的分析，这是不幸的熟悉问题，我们在这里讨论与候选人遗漏相关的其他三个风险：
In this squib, we explore the generative consequences of candidate omission for constraint-based grammars. In principle, the candidate set for an input form i is the range of Gen(i) for a given generating function Gen (see Prince and Smolensky 1993:17). In practice, however, analyses often cover just a few candidates that are deemed relevant. The consequences of this practice are the focus of this squib. Whether the omission is by oversight or by principle, a range of defects can readily arise because there are situations where, even though an analysis might include the observed/intended optimum along with a range of viable competitors, it is still possible to draw erroneous inferences about languages and typologies owing to the omission of a single candidate. Aside from the—unfortunately familiar—problem of discovering an omitted competitor that breaks one’s current analysis because it is more harmonic than the intended/observed form, there are three other risks associated with candidate omission that we discuss here:
