Thats not unreliable in the sense that vincent is talking about. If the rule says "spend something to perform an action" then you can rely on the fact that when you spend the thing, you get to perform the action. It would be unreliable if there is a judgement call to be made by someone "When you spend enough, you get to perform the action" without specifiying exactly what 'enough' was—that would be unreliable.
In my head I use the terms "solid" and "rubbery".
