Use A <-> (A ^ B ^ C) are reliable.

This threw me a little. Those ^ characters look a lot like the logical conjunction ("and") operator ∧, but they also look like the exclusive-or operator in C-like programming languages. For clarity, maybe spell this out in plain English: "Use A if and only if A and B and C are reliable."

Or actually use the proper symbols. ASCII is not a requirement for compatibility in these days.

A ↔ (A ∧ B ∧ C)
