I found this exactly but its like chinese to me. What the Senior
Engineer wanted was something specifically that says you cannot
use "/". Because he hadn't found it anywhere where it said that
it was restricted. With logic you can put rocket fuel in your
car because it does not specifically say anywhere that you cannot
use that in your car. Well new cars now have that little label
that says "Unleaded fuel only". Hmmm
