By OCP definition, any data that was processed (seen/touched) by a
callout server is "adapted", regardless of whether data bytes remained
unchanged. The idea is that just seeing (hence, possibly copying or
exporting) the data is sufficiently important to be traced/etc. In
other words, in OCP context, seeing data is as important as modifying
data.



You are right.
The point is only is this. Are the two sentences intuitively clear
for every one.

"The virgin data adaptation left them unchanged"
"The original data adaptation left them unchanged".

The first one is not clear to me as "virigin" intuitively means
that nothing happened even leaving it unchanged.

Example: the "touch" command does not affect a file.
But a "touched" file for me is no more virgin.

Just semantic. But simplifies the thing when the words
intuitively translate well.
