Every strict rule was written by someone having a bad day and enforced by someone having an average one. The rules above began this morning at full severity. Watch what happens to them when an actual person shows up: they remember what they were for, and mostly they were not for anything.

Strictness feels like rigor and is usually just fear with a clipboard. Real rigor knows which three rules matter. Everything else is leeway — and there is a whole adjacent office about that.
