Why this answer

The stored key combines an authorized-source statement with ?No additional interpretation or analysis is needed.? CDSE assigns that second condition to ?contained in,? not ?revealed by.? A statement about an authorized source alone does not distinguish the two concepts. Use the source distinction below; do not treat the stored combination as a verified select-all key.

VERIFIED AGAINST THE OFFICIAL SOURCE

“The concept of "contained in" applies when derivative classifiers incorporate classified information from an authorized source into a new document, and no additional interpretation or analysis is needed to determine the classification of that information. [...] The concept of "revealed by" applies when derivative classifiers incorporate classified information from an authorized source into a new document that is not clearly or explicitly stated in the source document.”
