since when can't you put latex directly over oil based paint? I've done
that dozens of times.


Sure it will cover but it will also peel off. Read the can or ask at the
paint store.


Actually it will NOT peel off.

Very rare for it to peel off.



Latex will peel if put on over enamel and the surface not prepared
correctly .. I've peeled off large sheets in fixing other folks' lousy
work. If put on over enamel, it should be sanded and primed first, IMO.
I never use latex on trim or doors because it is impossible to sand if
another paint job is needed.
