Memerlukan keperincian/ketelitian


The meaning of this idiomatic expression in English is: the details of a matter are its most problematic aspect . It hints that the matter is not as easy/straightforward as it appears.

Since the phrase is a subheading, a brief transliteration is probably more suitable than a lengthy rendition.
