Two conclusions are suggested. First: “Since an exception exists, all reporting duties have ended.” Second: “The exception applies to the identified class only.” The second is closer to specification: partial exclusion should not be confused with termination of the whole rule.
Abrogation asks whether an earlier ruling ceased to operate; specification asks which members fall within the general wording after a justified exclusion. Their evidentiary requirements and consequences differ.
Diagnostic error: Declaring an earlier text abrogated as soon as a specific proof appears jumps to a conclusion before examining the exact relationship.
