Definitions

Example: a messenger accepting the almost of turning down the heat. The order was to turn it off. An executive or communicator or messenger who accepts and forwards an almost is permitting dev-t. Orders given are to be executed and reported done, not to be nearly done or almost done. A communicator can often be tripped up by this form of dev-t. It is most easily spotted by insisting that the original order or orders be returned with the compliance so that any terminal on the fine can tell at a glance what was ordered, and what was done.
