The 'weak sense' of causal sufficiency is under-specified: if other necessary conditions are permitted, God's volition may be merely one among several jointly sufficient causes, not a privileged one.

Under-specified(critiquing whether the definition of causal sufficiency is complete)
Not clearly defined or detailed enough; leaving out important details that would make the meaning complete.
Weak sense (vs. strong sense)(as used in analyzing conditions and causation)
A weaker version means something doesn't fully or completely guarantee a result, while a strong sense means it definitely and completely does. Think of it as the difference between 'probably causes' (weak) and 'always causes' (strong).
causal sufficiency(Causal modeling and directed acyclic graphs (DAGs))
A set of variables V is causally sufficient if there is no variable W omitted from V such that, if added to V, it would be a direct cause of two variables already in V.
