"Specifics", as mentioned here, means "exactness." With C, you're breaking down a range "generically." F tends to break it down more specificially by giving you more segments within the same range. K goes even farther, within that same range and gives you MORE units to work with within the noted range.

The range of "exactness" withing a noted reference segment is broad (C), segmented (F) and precise (K).

Play with you numbers all you want. Words, too. When one has more units to choose from, within a stated range, you get more exact readings, not some "generic round about."

And....Spanish sucks, too!
