I had a query as a result of a game last night. If you want to spend a green evade token, but it's accuracied, can you discard it to reduce damage?

The confusion is probably just in my head but as far as I could make out the accuracy stops you from spending the token. It doesn't stop you from discarding it.

The answer is in the RRG:

IF the defender spends an evade token. Since it's been accuracied, it wasn't spent in the first place, so can't be discarded for the additional effect.

When a ship spends an [EVADE] token while defending against a ship of
a larger size class, it may cancel or reroll one additional attack die,
as appropriate for the attack’s range. If it does, discard the spent
token, whether it is readied or exhausted.

Thanks. I just wanted to check because of the whole spend/discard terminology.
