Unspecified Verbs

Words like move, change, fix, do, experience are Unspecified Verbs. Now keep in mind that no verb is completely specified. Yet verbs can be more or less specified. When you use relatively unspecified verbs, your client is again forced to provide meaning in order to interpret the sentence. Remember that we are in the land of the Milton Model and the usage of this technique is to be specifically vague. So Unspecified Verbs are fully in line here as they offer only a vague description of an action or happening.
