enforce arguments

[hhtt21]

"This analysis revealed the surprising result that, although the three semantics are closely related, it may be arbitrarily more difficult to enforce arguments using stable rather than semi-stable semantics, and also using semi-stable rather than preferred semantics."


Would you please explain what "enforce arguments" means?

Thank you.

Yes, to enforce arguments means to 'strengthen one's position' in the argument, and to make one's point almost undeniable.

Above context is about programing. I cannot understand your explanation because I cannot determine anyone's position there.

Thank you.

My guess is the author was thinking about enforcing rules about the data type of arguments to a function or method.
