The present study is the third in a series of investigations which explore the nature of carbon burning in electron-degenerate cores of realistic stellar models. In the current study, an artificial device is introduced (by accident) to produce, for the case of carbon burning in an accreting white dwarf, an incorrect, physically inconsistent solution whose main virtue is that it is unique and may contribute to a preliminary understanding of the nature of the problem. A minor virtue is that, as far as it has been pursued, the solution may not be too different from the correct one. It is found that the convective Urca process prevents carbon burning in a convective region from initiating a dynamic event as long as this process leads to local cooling at the edge of the convective region.
