I also had a quick look at KL website, looks like you can't even select a "Temporary Passport" when adding a document which probably explains why OLCI went smoothly given you can only choose between Passport/ID Card/Visa.
Why the hell should I be expected to check some random private company website to find out what I already know?
What is "clear cut"?
I am flying in two days from AMS to PMI. Do I have to figure out which private company the airline I happen to be using is contracting to, go to their website, hope they even
have a public-facing frontend in the first place (you try finding something on Timatic... go on, try it, timaticweb2.com ) and check whether I might not happen to be incorrectly marked as not eligible?
And what do I bring as "relevant documentation" if it so happens? Clearly the cantonal police nor Argentine embassy are not relevant enough...
