My read: an event about general EA principles, considered as a resource, is, as Schubert puts it, cause-flexible: it could easily be adapted to be specialized to a different cause. The fact that it happens to be deployed, in this example, to help GHD, doesn’t change the cause-flexibility of the resource (which is a type of cause-generality).
I guess you could say that it was cause-flexible up until the moment you deployed it and then it stopped being cause-flexible. I think it’s still useful to be able to distinguish cases where it would have been easy to deploy it to a different cause from cases where it would not; and since we have cause-agnostic vs cause-decided to talk about the distinction at the moment of commitment am trying to keep “cause general” to refer to the type of resource rather than the way it’s deployed.
(I don’t feel I have total clarity on this; I’m more confident that there’s a gap between how you’re using terms and Schubert’s article than I am about what’s ideal.)
