Let denote any additional parameter that is absent from , , the readout, and the declared repeated-shot model. Then the complete record law is independent of . Where derivatives are defined, every classical Fisher-information entry involving is zero.

No inference procedure on these records distinguishes two values of with different output distributions.

Proof. The complete record probability is

which contains no . Its -derivative is zero. A classical post-processing of identical input laws has identical output laws.
