I'll quibble and I'll say I disagree here: the rules say in many places that things must be specified, but it is game custom and precedent that determines how clear and explicit a message has to be to constitute specification (and there may be different customs for different types of specification), so a precedent can affect this without a rule amendment. That being said, your post reminded me that a precedent does exist that supports your position: "Promotor" specified Zefram in the same narrow context that "Beverly" specified root in CFJ 1361. Therefore I intend to judge in line with your argument (and in reverse of my proto). -Goethe
