Actually, your argument is exactly the reason that the numbered techniques are sufficient, but not necessary. So I don't think there is a problem. If you use one of the techniques, your content will meet the SC. There is no claim that if you don't use one of the techniques, you have not met the SC. As you point out, people may come up with other approaches that still solve the problem. And baselines that contain different sets of technologies will present different sets of techniques to draw from.
