Thanks! You are right. My wording was too strong.
It now says:
A StoreLoad is strictly necessary only between stores and subsequent
loads of the same sets of location. They can be eliminated when you
can guarantee that the set of stores before the barrier has no common
elements with the set of loads before the next barrier. For example,
assuming distinct (unaliased) locations a, b, c:
store a; StoreLoad; load b; store c; StoreLoad
can be transformed to:
store a; load b; store c; StoreLoad
if the thread has never written b.
