Hmm, what to do when nothing is mentioned about a particular thing which should be mentioned about? I think it would be to... mention about it! What you described is not a problem with using precise terms, it's a problem with shitty rules. It's the exact same problem as the one I just attacked. Your statement here attempts to reduce my solution to a crappy version of it (straw man) in order to denigrate it. This is like claiming that practice does not work in improving ability because you keep forgetting to do it. That's not a flaw of practice; that is a fault of a lazy person. So you think something will slip through the cracks? Fill the cracks then.

Did you actually read through this thread? Doubtful. You quoted the unclear rules which I criticized for being unclear then claimed that I didn't read them, as if to disprove the argument that "there are no rules on this issue" which is an argument I never made.
Thanks for making this post, though, because it's nice to see evidence supporting my argument regarding technically talented people and their "people skills" literally present itself, requiring no further effort from me.
