relate purely to specialist/professional/expert procedure
Explanation:
I think the confusion here is what the "rein" is modifying. The form of the question presupposes that it modifies "fachmännisch", but I think that suggestion is misleading.

David's interpretation of the reasoning is correct, but his offered translation bears next to no relation to the text.

Having said that, I think that my translation itself is self-explanatory.

neutral Richard Benham: I think this is very bad practice. You have guessed (correctly, I think) at the author's reasoning, and supplied a gloss on the term based on your understanding of the reasoning but with very little connection with the actual text.....
2 hrs
  -> It was not a guess, and I was not attempting the translation. Why do you think I suggested the asker should choose his/her own wording. Is it bad practice to offer explanation?
agree blomguib: the exactand definitely elementary concept used in patents is indeed "the man skilled in the art"....(almost 20 years of experience in patents)

agree Chetan Sampat: Could "fachmännisch" be rendered as 'technical', I wonder?
40 mins
  -> That is a very good possibility. I was focussed on the grammar rather than the terminology, but "fachmännisch" does overlap semantically with "technical".

1 day17 hrs   confidence: Answerer confidence 2/5Answerer confidence 2/5
high level of professional operation / activities

Explanation:
Is it necessary that we should use only "genuine, spotless, pure, plain or immaculate" for rein here. Can we also use "high level / high degree" to translate "rein".

Is it not permissible?
