Earlier I posted that Rema had state in Hilchos Sh'chita siman 1 that
    "Kol efshar l'varruei - m'varirin" 

And that this seems to be treated as policy in Kashrus - IOW a
meta-Halachic principle.

Now Fast-forward to Hilchos Gittin Rema EhE 130:11
    "V'chol davar... Ki ein likaneis lisfeiqos l'chatcheelah.."

Translation:
    And any matter where this a slight doubt as how to write it is
    not proper at the outset to sign it - because one should not at the
    outset enter [into] doubtfuls without a [compelling] need.

If l'chatchila avoiding s'feiqos re: gittin is in reality also
meta-Halachah that is therefore applicable to other venues, it would
explain a lot.
