Unfortunately, the spirit is always subjective. It's gets too easy to think you know what the designer intended. It could be written one way, designed another way, and interpreted yet a third way. If the spirit of the rules were that easy to be divined, there'd never be a need for FAQs or clearifications.Pax said:Sledged, it's all about the spirit of the prerequisite, in preference to over-literalist application of The Utter And Exact Words As Printed(TM).
