Not sure we understand each other. I opine the charted restriction before Dixir makes me observe it when routing direct from the north. Your example for an 'overlay direct' is completely bullseye.
Sorry for the perceived incoherence in the parts you quoted form me.
Trying again:
I recognize and agree to other people's claim that for DCT Dixir the STAR restriction of FL75(+) does not apply specifically. Yet still, it would be my choice to observe it regardless, for reasons I struggle to define by quoting the regulations, at least until a clarification from the ATC is obtained.
Are we not singing the same tune? I disagree (to the whole breadth of modern CRM) with anything lower than FL75 but acknowledge running out of legal ammo to prove the posters claiming otherwise to be wrong.
What I say is their explanation is valid but brings dysfunctional / undesirable result. Because in the given case there were blank spots in the clearance needing to be filled, and that is where I personally find anything other than FL75+ plain wrong.
