Is defining generics of a Component again when it's being used, really necessary in Flamework?

Solution:

apparently you could do something like <A extends Attributes = {}, I extends Tool = Tool>...

defining generics? wdym ohhh, i mean you could just create item that implements base components with set generics

class Item extends BaseComponent<IAttributesGeneric, IInstanceGeneric>

class Item extends BaseComponent<IAttributesGeneric, IInstanceGeneric>

generics are used only for guards so flamework can tell whether the instance is right and whether you have correct attributes
