Why an author does anything is not something even the greatest
psychologist of all time would know with 100% certainty, unless he/she
reads minds, which nobody can do.
All we know is what the author does.

Yes, (d) is a requirement.
But agreeing (d) applies for patch A is not agreeing that it applies for
patch B.
Apples are not oranges.

Clause (d) still must apply.
