The point I was making is that "common sense" often does not lead to the same conclusion.

For example, my common sense tells me that non-curing thermal grease is *not* glue and therefore the gluing rule is not applicable.

But if the common sense of others differs, it's not "lawyering" to ask Q&A for clarification.

Then if Q&A doesn't answer (it happens), give it your best honest shot. Ask around and see what other respected teams are doing.
