Nevertheless, this breakdown should be adjusted to recognize that an invalid signature is equivalent to no signature per the specification.

It did.  Read the message again.

More to the point Doug. The reason I showed it separate was to illustrate there is a high confidence validation (non-repudiation) when there a true no signature state versus the condition where the state is artificially altered from a failed signature to non signature. The later introduces less confidence where the former yields full confidence. When you fold it, you have false positives. In short, it makes the ALL and STRICT policies less reliable. It weakens the policy.

Does that make sense?
