A robotic arm is programmed to move along a path defined by the function $f(x) = \sin^{-1}(2x \sqrt{1-x^2})$. To avoid mechanical failure, the arm must operate within the domain where this expression is equivalent to $2\sin^{-1}(x)$. A technician observes the arm at a position where $x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$. Determine if this point lies within the valid principal value domain for the identity $2\sin^{-1}(x)$, and identify the correct domain restriction for $x$ for this identity to hold.
