I have no clue what that means, but at this juncture it is irrelevant.

No, it is not always safer to specify it; and by the time I saw your
latest contribution to this thread, I see that dougb@ has done a
splendid job of trying to explain the opposing viewpoint to you rather
clearly.  I trust that has satiated your desire for people to repeat the
technical components of discussion that had already been archived on
freebsd-ports.
