2.Be testable through automated or manual processes.
[Jason] They should be as reliably testable as possible, while achieving their intended purpose and benefit.

Why is this significant?  If a criterion doesn’t achieve the intended purpose then it won’t be accepted.
[Jason] It’s significant in that it explicitly states the trade-off that success criterion writers need to consider. Making a requirement more reliably testable can easily occur at the expense of achieving its goals, and thus I am proposing to acknowledge the balancing which needs to be done.

6.Apply to all content, unless specific exceptions are included in the success criteria (e.g. "except interruptions involving an emergency").
[Jason] Where a success criterion applies to only some types of content or only under specific conditions, such conditions should be stated explicitly (e.g., “If non-text content is time-based media”).

I think that your change says the same thing, but doesn’t work with the structure of the prompt, so leaving as is.
[Jason] Exceptions and explicitly stated conditions aren’t the same thing, in my view, hence I do not think it should be left as is.
