In theory, yeah. In practice, I feel like if we tried to be clever and just word it that way we'd wind up having to explain why an apparently simple fix that popped up at the last minute was taken under this "difficult to fix" clause, and then I think the text would wind having more or less the same bits as it does now, only in a less clear construction. But...if you think it can be done, take a cut at it!
