Data consistency: for each concrete datum, if the term type predicts exhaustivity then the datum confirms it, and if the term type is non-exhaustive then so is the datum.
This is a per-datum verification over our @cite{groenendijk-stokhof-1984} examples, not a universal claim
(arbitrary TermTypeExhDatum values can violate any pattern).
Some languages have overt markers for non-exhaustive answers.
