“T CrB can never become a SNIa”
Never is a very long time. Even if the net accretion rate remains negative, the companion star will also eventually evolve into a white dwarf producing a double degenerate system. The eventual merger of such systems could produce a supernova explosion and is increasingly considered to be the cause of the majority of type Ia supernova explosions.
