-### Build selectors with appropriate specificity
-
-Selectors that are too general might sweep up unexpected elements.
-When possible, select the first parent tag and then specify the desired element within that selection.
-
-**Why?** Elements that are overly specific are less flexible and may fail if unexpected DOM changes occur. It also reduces the amount of the DOM it needs to parse.
