Suppose that one passage states that an error must be signaled if any function in S is ever given an argument of `17`. Suppose that an apparently conflicting passage states that the consequences are undefined if `foo` receives an argument of `17`. Then the second passage (the one specifically about `foo`) would dominate because the description of the situational context is the most specific, and it would not be required that `foo` signal an error on an argument of `17` even though other functions in the set S would be required to do so.
