A better definition would be that, for example, if a manuscript says that 
roast beef was served with a sauce that the recipe is given for and a cook 
serves the roast beef without the sauce then it is not documentable as having 
been served. If a mustard sauce recipe says that it is to be served with 
roast beef and then the roast beef is served without the sauce, it's service 
is mere supposition and no proof exists that it was ever served without the 
required sauce.
