"A person" makes it clear that only persons can do things "by announcement". 2577 narrows the people that can transfer assets to "its owner". To me the logical reading is that the only entities that CAN "transfer assets by announcements" are owners of the asset who are also persons who performed the steps defined in 478. I don't buy this interpretation that the generality in 478 is overriding the specificity of 2577, it seems like a union of conditions to me. > > I believe that I have unambiguously and clearly specified the action of > transferring 500 of D.
