For example, consider a simple 2-input AND gate. It's not a complicated device, by any stretch of
the imagination. But since it has 2 inputs, we have to deal with some additional complexities:

- There are now paths through the gate (one path from each input to the output), and each may shape
signals in different ways.
- There are now multiple paths through the gate (one path from each input to the output), and each
may shape signals in different ways.
- If we're testing the path from input A to the output, we have to make sure input B has a logical
1 (otherwise it would "mask" the signal, and we would never see it propagate through to the output).
We call this the "nonmasking condition" for input B.
