Can Spectre be played from the discard pile in place of a minion that is limited to one named minion, such as Shinobi's 'play this minion' ability?
Community reading from the card wording, contradicted by a second-hand relayed publisher email.

Most players say no: Spectre can be played from the discard pile when an ability lets you play "a" minion, such as Hidden Ninja, but not in place of an ability that plays "this" minion, such as Shinobi. Note that an emailed reply from AEG, relayed on the forum, said Spectre "can jump in for any other minion play", so this is disputed.
