If a necessitarian PSR fully satisfies the demand for sufficient reasons without invoking 'best,' then the Principle of the Best is a substantive *addition* to PSR, not its logical consequence.

Substantive addition(describing whether the Principle of the Best is truly separate from PSR)
Something new and meaningful that is added on top of something else, rather than already being included in it.
logical consequence(WL II, 391–395; noted as similar to Tarski 1956, 419)
A proposition s is a logical consequence of a set of premises σ if and only if s follows from σ with respect to the sequence of all extra-logical simple ideas contained in σ or s.
sufficient reasons(Contrasted with decisive reasons in debates about blameworthiness and rational compliance)
Reasons that support performing an action without being decisive, i.e., without settling the question of what one ought overall to do.
