Please let me confirm: are you referring to Rule 2 of source address
selection?
Rule 2: Prefer appropriate scope.
If Scope(SA) < Scope(SB): If Scope(SA) < Scope(D), then prefer SB
and otherwise prefer SA.
Similarly, if Scope(SB) < Scope(SA): If Scope(SB) < Scope(D), then
prefer SA and otherwise prefer SB.
According to this rule, a link-local source address will be preferred
to a global source address for a link-local destination. I think the
rule is quite reasonable.
