neutral  Jennifer Levey: 'voulue' sits unhappily alongside 'précision', especially in this context. The ST strongly suggests that a certain degree of precision is 'required'.

agree  Jennifer Levey: I'd prefer 'désignée', implying that the method is (as you suggest) defined in the doc (or in a standard reference work on the subject). 'appropriée' leaves too much slack for subjective appreciations on the part of the (wo)man holding the knife.
