Event: Perpetrator classification is not used when we have an exact value for Event: Perpetrator name.

It's not either/or - at least not necessarily. There could be a situation where we use both - ie "soldiers from the 1 Battalion and police extra judicially executed several people" - we'd have both 'Event: Perpetrator classification' of 'Police' and 'Event: Perpetrator Organization' of '1 Battalion'. What we would not do is add 'Army' or 'Military' to 'Event: Perpetrator Classification' since from the source description there are no "soldiers" or other members of the army or military beyond the 1 Battalion.

So I guess an easier way to describe it is: when you have a specific name of a person or org use that, you do not also put in a classification. When you have a specific name of a person or org AS WELL AS general descriptions of others involved then ALSO use 'Event: Perpetrator Classification'.
