RegisterGuidelines - nonbinding, Scientific advice - nonbinding … [Power / Sample Size]
Expand the subject line until it fits your needs.
Dear Helmut!
This is the casus knacktus with guidelines.
Once we are urged to take them literally and if we do not we are punished by deficiency letters.
Once we take them literally and an assessor comes along and claims he is considering things different.
Once we are in breach with the guidelines with intent and another assessor comes along and says "I as a reviewer have reviewed (!) and and the firm's response is acceptable".
This is sometimes very annoying
but otherwise life would be boring 
. But I must confess that sometimes I wish more boredom in my professional life.
And this in the year 2004!
But I as a dinosaur have respect for other dinosaurs having survived
.
And I have most respect for the engineers who have developed such a machine working even decades after producing it
!
BTW: This reminds me on the Schreibmaschine "Erika", hightech by VEB Robotron which I've also seen yet being functional these days.
Dear Helmut!
❝ Well, guidelines are guidelines are guidelines. 
Have you noticed the header on every single page? Contains Nonbinding Recommendations
❝ ...
❝ you can try anything – if the assessor accepts it, …)
