When using a documented principle written in a human language, focus on its general intent rather than on the literal interpretation of isolated words. If applying a principle leads to an absurd conclusion, then, most likely, the wrong principle was applied or the right principle was applied incorrectly. Try again or, if at a loss, respectfully discuss the conundrum before jumping to conclusions.
It is impossible to document everything in a human-driven process. There are always gray areas and exceptions. If you believe that an important case must be treated specially, please state so explicitly and explain why you feel that way.
