The Zen thing to do would be to flame you with absurd viciousness for being excessively vague in your own request for clarification, in the hope that your response would be combative (rather than purely analytical), but still appropriate—because then you would have provided the example yourself. But that’s a high-risk conversational strategy. :-)

Can you be more specific?
