Difference between BC by descent and otherwise by descent

Hi guys,

Can anybody please explain to me what is the practical difference between BC by descent and otherwise by descent. I have gone through many documentation but failed to understand the practical difference in terms of who can/can't transfer their British citizenship.

Thanks

Why can't you just redirect (royal mail redirect) all your post to some of your friend? and once your Naturalization is approved you can call council to book private/public ceremony.
