 The real, physical hardware that we end up running the compiled program on is a very efficient *but imprecise* implementation of this abstract machine, and all the rules that Rust has for undefined behavior work together to make sure that this imprecision is not visible for *well-behaved* (UB-free) programs.
 But for programs that do have UB, this "illusion" breaks down, and [anything is possible](https://raphlinus.github.io/programming/rust/2018/08/17/undefined-behavior.html).
 
-UB-free programs can be made sense of by looking at their assembly, but *whether* a program has UB is impossible to tell on that level.
+*Only* UB-free programs can be made sense of by looking at their assembly, but *whether* a program has UB is impossible to tell on that level.
 For that, you need to think in terms of the abstract machine.[^sanitizer]
 
 [^sanitizer]: This does imply that tools like valgrind, that work on the final assembly, can never reliably detect *all* UB.
