    A specification is just another form of implementation that suffers from the very same problem you describe too.

      Fair enough. In practice, we resolve it recursively with a higher level specs and at some point it is just “someone wants that”. In commercial software development (where SIL is used) that is a customer who pays for it or some executive.
