So now I'm confused. Which is it? "Any" means anything that is marked to be included in "Any" (as the original FAQ entry indicates), or is it a catch-all wildcard, true common definition of the english word "Any" (as stated by ChillyJim)?

Sorry, not trying to be an ass, but the answers seem to be contradictory.
