There's an obscure bit of policy arcana according to which invalid stories don't need a dab term if there's nothing they could plausibly be conflicting with. It's a custom honored more in the breach than in the observance, and honestly has never made much sense to me, but there you are. You also see it with Devious and And Introducing..., just off the top of my head. Scrooge MacDuck 15:50, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
