This is similar to being able to derive every Trigonometric identity from Euler's equation. I had a Math professor some 45 years ago who insisted that Trigonometry is non-existent because of it.
On the other hand, the path to obtaining some of those synthesized results is so obtuse as to render it useless, especially in a pipe that is to be used more than once and, perhaps, modified by someone else. Why use specs when you can use a straight-forward built-in stage that can be understood by someone other than John or Melinda?

CRC? (and hex display?) I had been unaware of this. I'm beginning to think that SPECS is the only stage that's really necessary -- you can synthesize everything else with SPECS.
