Well, YOU are the one who said it was 'a sign of deletability', not
me. And if you want to apply it different from pathologically or not
at all, it is you who are to come with a different approach. Either
you apply it or you don't. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Sure, you can make rules as to when to apply it and when not. But then
you have to state the rules.
