A combinatorial circuit counts bit strings; which issue arises if identical strings are treated as distinct?

💡 Explanation

If identical strings are treated as distinct, the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle requires correcting for the *overcounting* mechanism, because the count will be too high. Therefore, the total number of combinations is overestimated, rather than the count reflecting correct distribution, because unique combinations are inflated.
