against the spirit of the spec
Specifications are mechanisms. Tools. Syntax. To be combined in interesting and curious ways. To an end. Spirituality has nothing to do with it.
A 'spirit' is intentionality, the heart of what a spec is trying to communicate. The tools and syntax serve this end.
If you are referring to yourself with the why_specs_matter link, then I would suggest a useful "asshole" would identify these concepts that are contrary to the intentions of gemini and recommend solutions in the spec to prevent them rather than circumventing those intentions.
